“However, I admit that I worship the God of our ancestors as a follower of the Way which they call a sect. I believe everything that is in accordance with the Law and that is written in the Prophets, and I have the same hope in God as these men themselves have, that there will be a resurrection of both the righteous and the wicked. So I strive always to keep my conscience clear before God and man.” Acts 24:14-16

Lord Jesus, As you set the example of the apostle Paul before in the book of Acts you are teaching me so much about the life that you have given me to live as your child. Today, you show me that there is no “off” switch to our lives as your followers. Paul never shut it off. He was always vigilant to live a life that honored you. He was always seizing every opportunity to tell people about you. Help me to do the same. I get tired and want to turn it off. I am worn and sometimes I just want to put y head down and get through the day. Give me strength from your Spirit to always live for you and to always look for opportunities to talk about you. You are my Savior! Give me your Spirit so that I might always live for you in any and every situation. Help me to work hard for you today. Amen.

As God’s children, we have been called out of darkness into God’s bright light. We have been raised from spiritual death and we will be also raised from physical death. We have a God who raises the dead and we follow the One who was raised from the dead. Today, stay on mission all day long. Stay on point all the time.
