Jesus dicit

Word 291 of 310Courage

Do not be afraid; keep on speaking; do not be silent. For I am with you.

Acts 18:9 and 10

BSB

Read Acts 18 in a modern translation BSB
Read the whole chapter (Acts 18)

Speak, and do not be silent

Paul was in Corinth, a large port city, and met opposition. Perhaps he was thinking of leaving. Then the Lord spoke to him in the night by a vision.

Be not afraid. Speak. I am with thee. And: I have much people in this city. Paul stayed a year and a half. Sometimes courage doesn't mean going somewhere, but staying.

Question for today

Where should I stay and speak, instead of leaving and keeping quiet?

Prayer

Lord, when I am afraid to speak, say to me: be not afraid. I am with thee. Amen.
