Title: Stand For God / Topic: Courage

Today’s Reading: Numbers 28; Numbers 29; Mark 8

Scripture: Mark 8:38 "If anyone is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when he comes in his Father's glory with the holy angels."

Observation/Application: This is a challenge to stand and not cower in the face of a society that reviles God. It is not easy to speak up, to "not be ashamed" to be a Christian, when it is so mocked and derided in so many ways. Yet the call we have is to not let the pressure of the crowd make us hang our head or silence our words.

Prayer: Lord, help us to find ways to express our love for You and our love for Your word in positive ways in this aldulterous and sinful generation. And help us to be walking the walk so that when we talk the talk, it has credibility. Give us creativity to speak so that the truth can overcome the attacks of the enemy.
This I pray in Jesus’ name, Amen.
