VERSE:
Those who had been scattered preached the word wherever they
went.
-- Acts 8:4

THOUGHT:
When someone tries to stomp out the flame of dry broom weed, the
sparks fly upward and ride upon the wind, spreading the flame far
and wide. As Satan tried to use persecution to discourage the early
church, the very martyrdom and persecution that drove these
Christians from their homes was used by God to spread the message
wherever they went. Each believer was a spark driven on the Divine
Wind of God's empowering Spirit.
PRAYER:
O great God of mercy and grace, give me a holy passion to share
your love and power with all I meet no matter what circumstances
led them into my acquaintance. Give me the wisdom to see and the
courage to act on the opportunities to share Jesus with those in my
life. In the name of the Lord Jesus, I pray. Amen.
