3-Success in the kingdom of God and in any local church depends on faithful people of whom the general public is unaware-

5-How much Impact we have, whether positive or negative depends pretty much on the choices we make-

SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY   Acts 23:31-35

³¹ So the soldiers did what they were told and took Paul and brought him to the city of Antipatris that night. ³² The next day the horsemen went with Paul to Caesarea, but the other soldiers went back to the army building in Jerusalem. ³³ When the horsemen came to Caesarea and gave the letter to the governor, they turned Paul over to him. ³⁴ The governor read the letter and asked Paul, “What area are you from?” When he learned that Paul was from Cilicia, ³⁵ he said, “I will hear your case when those who are against you come here, too.” Then the governor gave orders for Paul to be kept under guard in Herod’s palace.

 

PRAYER FOR TODAY 

Father, as we become one with Christ we become a new creation. The old order of things has passed away and all things become new because You are sanctifying our hearts and thus aligning our outlook to be a reflection of Yours. And furthermore we are issued the command to deny our own willful desires, take up our cross every day, and follow You wholeheartedly. May we be careful to make a checklist daily to see that we live in accordance to Your commands, that we might reach others for Christ and find reward in our daily obedience to You. In the name of Jesus we pray. Amen.


TODAY WILL NEVER COME AGAIN. BE A BLESSING. BE A FRIEND. ENCOURAGE SOMEONE. TAKE TIME TO CARE. LET YOUR WORDS AND ACTIONS HEAL AND NOT WOUND.
