FAITHFUL TODAY

Acts 20:1-38

Such boldness! Paul declares, “I have been faithful”! Paul went where God sent him. Paul said what God gave him to say. The message was simple: repent from sin, turn to God, have faith in Jesus.

Paul did what God gave him to do. And then in verse 32 he says, “I entrust you to God.” Paul did his part and trusted God to do the rest.

Where have you been called? Called to preach, to teach, to write, to speak. Called to be a parent, a child, a friend. Called to the mission field, to the office, to the suburbs. Called to scrub floors, cook meals, change diapers.

Wherever, whatever, we are called to be a blessing to others.

We are called to speak His message—with our words and with our actions. Called to encourage, to comfort, to pray. Called to love, to forgive, to serve. To hold a hand. Wipe a tear. Offer a hug.

Can we, like Paul, declare boldly, “I have been faithful”?

Where have you been called? What have you to say? What has God given you to do?

Go today. Say it today. Do it today. Be faithful today and entrust the rest to God.

Lord Jesus, show me today...
