Devotional - Acts 22:14

“Then he said: ‘The God of our fathers has chosen you to know his will and to see the Righteous One and to hear words from his mouth. You will be his witness to all men of what you have seen and heard. And now what are you waiting for? Get up, be baptized and wash your sins away, calling on his name.'”

Thank You Father for presenting Your primary will in my life: to know and follow You, speaking Your name and proclaiming Your glory wherever I go. Let me be like Paul and be able to see You and hear You. What an example he is of a man who threw it all away to glorify Yourself; going to the very ends of the known world to share the gospel with the lost and the broken. Let me share with others my story and more over Your story — one of redemption and grace for ungrateful and undeserved children. I need to take this last verse to heart most, because it gives a call to action in the life of a missionary. Let me be active, be cleansed, be pure, and be bold. I have nothing to wait for and every tool in my possession. May God’s Kingdom spread like a contagious cancer of joy, love, and peace. Let Your relationship intoxicate this planet and engulf the hearts and minds of every person.
