Christian Devotional – April 30, 2016

Read Acts chapter 28

VERSE:

Acts 28:31–He proclaimed the kingdom of God and taught about the Lord Jesus Christ–with all boldness and without hindrance!

TRUTH:

As the book of Acts concludes, we see Paul in Rome, under house arrest, still preaching and proclaiming the good news of Jesus Christ. I find it so interesting that Paul, who is under house arrest, indicates that he is proclaiming the gospel without hindrance. It seems to me that most people would have considered the fact that he was under house arrest to be something that hindered him. Yet, Paul knew better. He knew that he was exactly where God had him doing exactly what God wanted him to do. Do we look around ourselves and see God’s divine had in what we are doing or do we see hindrances in everything that we see?

RESPONSE:

Father, help me to see the world as You see it so that I can be bold and do exactly what You want me to do without any hindrance at all. I know that You see me and are moving to have me exactly where you want me. Thank You for Your perfect will!
