Stand up and speak to the people. Tell them everything that I tell you to say. ~ Jeremiah 1:17 (ERV)
We don’t tell people about ourselves. But we tell people that Jesus Christ is Lord... ~ 2 Corinthians 4:5a (ERV)
God, you have spoken. And you have given us something to say to the world. We confess, though, that we mostly like to talk about ourselves -- or the things which seem important to us. That is strange. If we really believe that you've given us something to say, we need to say it. I need to say it. Please help me to share the Jesus message today. Help me to overcome my poor choice of words and the fear that I might mix things us. Your Holy Spirit will enable me to tell people that Jesus Christ is Lord. Today I will live to tell people about Jesus. Amen.
Difficult Words
Strange -- something unusual, something that is not the way it should be, a mystery
Overcome -- defeat, conquer, have success over
Since 2015, I've been modeling one way of using the MORAVIAN DAILY TEXTS* to maintain a daily conversation with God.
