Scripture Reading: Acts 5:29 KJV
"Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men."
Devotional:
The apostles serve as an example of boldness in witnessing for Christ. Despite opposition, they stood firm, choosing to obey God over earthly authorities. This same determination is needed today as we face pressures to compromise our beliefs. Be encouraged to speak up for your faith, knowing that God is with you.
Reflection:
Think about the situations in which you've been hesitant to stand for the gospel. How might the example of the apostles inspire you to act differently?
Prayer:
Father, grant me the courage to stand up for your truth. Help me to speak about the gospel with boldness and authority, without fear of what others may think. Amen.
Action:
Identify one area where you have been silent about your faith. Take a step to speak or act with boldness in this area today.
