Speaking Up!
“So the commander let the young man go, instructing him, ‘Tell no one that you have notified me of these things.” Acts 23:22
Keep speaking up. Paul’s nephew had learned the Jewish leaders were planning to ambush and kill Paul. He went and told his uncle Paul. Paul told him to let the Roman commander know. Hearing the news, the Roman commander was used of God to protect Paul. PTL! The boy spoke up!
The end result was amazing. The promise God had earlier made to Paul was fulfilled… “Take courage (Paul); for as you have solemnly witnessed to My cause at Jerusalem, so you must witness at Rome also.” (Acts 23:11b) Today, evil seeks to ambush the voice of moral righteousness, like Paul’s nephew, may we be life-saving influencers for Jesus. Praying for you.
