Journal Challenge Day 28

Scripture: Acts 28:31
Boldly and without hindrance he preached the kingdom of God and taught about the Lord Jesus Christ.

Observation:
Paul finally made it to Rome and while there he remained under house arrest. However, that didn't stop him from preaching Jesus to the Jews and Gentiles. In fact, he continued to tell others of Jesus despite the opposition and persecution.

Application:
Paul's faithfulness to the Gospel and unflinching courage enabled him to gain an audience with the most powerful leaders of his day - in both the spiritual and political arenas. He leveraged that influence to preach the Kingdom and Jesus.

Prayer:
I pray that I will walk in obedience to God's calling and maintain the courage and passion to share Jesus with everyone I meet. God, help me live a life on purpose and never waste an opportunity to tell others of your great kingdom. Amen.
