But Peter and John answered them, “Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you rather than to God, you must judge, for we cannot but speak of what we have seen and heard.” Acts 4:19-20
What’s one of the most profound things that someone has ever said to you? How did their words and their passion impact you? I can think of several people that have poured into me and have influenced my life. Just like we saw in the scriptures this week, people are passionate about what they believe.
The Bible shows us that when we believe deeply, we can use our words to speak into ourselves and into others. This week, consider the four ways we discussed Sunday to speak truth and life. If you are struggling with a sin, then ask the Holy Spirit to give you the words to speak the truth to yourself. If you know someone who needs encouragement, correction, or Christ in their life, then speak life and good news to that person.
Today, start by simply thanking God for words that others have spoken into your life that made an impact on you. See you Sunday.
