S.O.A.P. 30 Day Challenge – Day #6 February 6, 2024 “Let the Light of Jesus Shine Through You”
S. Acts 13:9-11 (NIV) 9 Then Saul, who was also called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, looked straight at Elymas and said, 10 “You are a child of the devil and an enemy of everything that is right! You are full of all kinds of deceit and trickery. Will you never stop perverting the right ways of the Lord? 11 Now the hand of the Lord is against you. You are going to be blind for a time, not even able to see the light of the sun.” Immediately mist and darkness came over him, and he groped about, seeking someone to lead him by the hand.
O. This Jewish sorcerer was leading people away from the good news of Jesus. Perhaps he is symbolic of the nation Israel – who should have been serving as God’s people in leading the world to Him – yet they refused to do so and rejected the Messiah. In doing so, God has temporarily blinded the people of Israel.
A. God will use and bless those willing to share the good news of Jesus. That is my desire – to let others see the light of Jesus through me.
P. Lord, thank you for your word today. Holy Spirit, fill me and guide me to continue to share Jesus both in my private life and in the public ministry that you’ve called me to. May people see the light of Jesus shine through me. In Jesus’ name.
