Today’s Reading: Acts 26

Then Agrippa said to Paul, “Do you think that in such a short time you can persuade me to be a Christian?” Acts 26:28
Jesus led me to think of an unusual situation. Have you tried to talk about Jesus with some non-believers before? How many sentences did you talk about Jesus before they stopped you? How about talking to dignitaries? Do you think you would have a chance to say as much as Paul did in Acts 26? Try to time yourself as to how long it takes you for you to read the whole chapter.
When King Agrippa spoke in Acts 26: 28, he was quite persuaded by Paul. You can imagine that, from a human perspective, waiting in the jail for a trial would bring many painful feelings and concerns. Having to wait for a long time can wear people out. But here Paul made use of God’s 'waiting time' to fulfill God’s purpose so that the Gospel was preached. Can you and I get hold of God’s 'waiting times' so that we also can testify to the Gospel?
Dear Lord Jesus,
Help me to get hold of each moment to bear witness to the Gospel, especially in the midst of troubles. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
