You are my witnesses, says the LORD...
ACTS 1:8 (CEB)
Rather, you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
We are called to be witnesses of God's faithful activity.
DAILY FODDER
How do witnesses function in a courtroom? Of what, exactly, are we called to be witnesses?
PRAYER
Faithful God, you've positioned us to see and report on your activity in the world. I confess that my credibility as a witness is sometimes compromised by my words and actions, or at times, lack thereof. Empower me to serve as a reliable witness of the gospel of Jesus Christ. I want to be among the convinced and convincing witnesses. Amen.
THE LORD’S PRAYER (ABP)
Our Father in Heaven,
we hold your name in the highest regard.
Please come and establish your reign here on earth
so that everything that happens here will align
with what is happening in heaven.
