Have you ever shied away from sharing the Good News with people? Maybe it's with friends or family or even another parent next to you on the sports field. We sometimes wonder how to get the conversation started or whether the person will be ready to listen to us.
In Paul's case, it was far worse. He wasn’t afraid that people wouldn't listen to him, and he wasn't shy about preaching the Good News. In his case, his safety was at stake. But he continued to preach unabated. This was his calling, and he responded to this by trusting God.
In verses 9 and 10, we read how the Lord lovingly encourages Paul by affirming that he is not living out his calling alone. God is with him, and God protects him. The Lord also assures Paul that He has strategically placed other people in the city that belongs to Him and who are already helping in spreading the Good News.
The Lord wants you to preach His Good News.
You can do it boldly. Believe that God demonstrates His love for you by joining you in this fantastic journey. And that He places other people besides you to help. He has the power to prepare people's hearts long before you've plucked up the courage to talk to them about His love.
Today He says to you, "Do not be afraid but go on speaking and do not be silent."
How will you respond to this Godly truth today, to know that God is with you in sharing the Good News?
