Yield to Christ in this New Year!

     If you haven't read the journey of Paul in Acts recently, I would highly recommend it, especially chapters 21-28. It's an adventure and full of fatal moments for Paul and yet he faithfully yields to Christ each time. It's so amazing how God intervenes and accomplishes what Paul never could have done on his own. Now that's not to say he didn't suffer during this journey and others, but he was willing to lay down his own will and due to this, got to testify about Christ to kings and Jews that never would have had an opportunity to hear the Good News.
     I wonder how many times I've gotten caught up in my own stuff during the day and missed the chance to be a vessel for God's use in the world? May I be more about the salvation of others and the glory of God, rather than my needs, wants, and comfort in 2013. May this year be the year our Lord returns. May the souls of all men and women worldwide by saved. Amen.

Acts 28: ³⁰ For two whole years Paul stayed there in his own rented house and welcomed all who came to see him. ³¹ He proclaimed the kingdom of God and taught about the Lord Jesus Christ—with all boldness and without hindrance!
