DAY 5: Finding Your Mission

DEVOTIONAL:

Each year, millions of people celebrate St. Patrick’s Day without a true understanding or appreciation of his redemptive testimony and impact.  St. Patrick’s faithfulness has endured thousands of years and impacted millions of lives.

For 6 years Patrick was forced to work as a shepherd and was driven to the brink of starvation. It was there that he turned to his Christian faith and through divine intervention managed to escape. He was reunited with his family in Britain only to have a prophetic dream calling him to take Christianity back to the land of his captivity.

Against the wishes of his family and the Church, Patrick returned as a missionary bishop to Ireland and converted thousands to Christianity. He opposed slavers, Irish kings, and possibly druids but nothing compared to the hostility he faced from his fellow Christians. After a close friend exposed a dark secret of Patrick’s, it is believed he was ordered to leave his mission and return to Britain.

Patrick had to choose – obey God or obey man?
