"One night the Lord spoke to Paul in a vision and said: 'Don't be afraid! Speak out! Don't be silent! For I am with you, and no one will attack and harm you, for many people in this city belong to me.'" ~Acts 18:9-10, NLT
These commands to Paul that came during one of his stays in Corinth are blatantly applicable to today. After all, the only difference between Paul and me is the fact that I live in the 21st century, and Jesus did not blind me when He revealed Himself to me. Truth is, our goal in life, our purpose - it's the same as Paul's was. We are to spread God's word, spread His truth, reflect His light. God's command to us, then, is to not be afraid, to speak out, and to not remain silent! God's word today and everyday is to keep up the good fight, and not let anyone or anything intimidate us into silence about Him.
Lord, help me to remain indomitable in the face of adversity against You. May my voice ring out through the dark, proclaiming Your truth and Your hope!
Amen
