SCRIPTURE: Acts (NIV) 17:17 Therefore he reasoned in the synagogue with the Jews and with the Gentile worshipers, and in the marketplace daily with those who happened to be there.
OBSERVATION: Paul ministered to Jews, and Gentile proselytes, when they gathered in the synagogue AND he ministered to the people every day in the market place! He was the Lord’s servant wherever he was.
APPLICATION: We, who are born again, and have the Holy Spirit dwelling with in us are no different! We are the Lord’s servants wherever we are and available for Him to use as He sees best.
Whenever we are with God’s people, even if only two or three, we are available for the Lord to use us to pray for someone, to give a word of encouragement, or to pass along a testimony of what God has done for us. AND when we leave that gathering of believers and go out into the world, we do not go alone! The same Holy Spirit, who was with us when we met other believers, goes with us, accompanying us wherever we go.
PRAYER: Holy Spirit, we go nowhere alone! You are with us wherever we are. Use us to make people aware of Jesus. May the words we speak and the things we do be expressions of His love and concern for the world today. Amen
