You Will Be My Witnesses 2

But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, throughout Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth." (Acts 1:8 NAB)


For a long time, this verse comforted me that the Holy Spirit would be within me and strengthen me to be a good witness. But recently is has become obvious that the call to be Jesus' witness is not a mission trip to be taken, but a daily call to be witnessed.

The Spirit is the power source behind what others witness. Being where He leads and hearing His call is critical. If we miss the cues, we are ineffective by not taking the opportunity. So being yielded to the Spirit even before we have witnesses is the first step in the journey. Whether it is reading God's word, a devotional or worship each morning, We must draw close to Him to keep the power charged for our day ahead.
