A Journal Entry…
As I was packing to leave Hawaii for school I found an old devotional journal from a couple years ago. I opened it up and found this journal entry that I would like to share with you…
SCRIPTURE:
Acts 4:13 “When they saw the courage of Peter & John and realized they were unschooled, ordinary men, they were astonished and took note that these men had been with Jesus.”
OBSERVATION:
After being with Jesus, these men knew the truth and it was the truth that gave them courage to speak of Jesus Christ. Their lives radiated the presence of Jesus Christ even to those who don’t believe. Jesus’ presence uses you beyond your abilities.
APPLICATION:
I am an ordinary woman and sometimes I feel unschooled or not as smart as those around me BUT that does not determine how much I can do for Jesus Christ. It is determined by how much time I spend with HIM. His presence and my life changed will give courage to show Jesus Christ. People will see and take note that I have been with Jesus. Just like the testimonies I heard today.
GOD’S PRESENCE + LIFE CHANGED = COURAGE TO WITNESS FOR JESUS. A simple equation for ordinary men and women to do EXTRAordinary things!
PRAYER:
Lord, may your presence change my life so that all will know I’ve been with Jesus. Thanks for using me beyond my own abilities. I love you, Rhoda =)
