Please read Acts 19.

Meditate on verse 20.

So the Word of the LORD

was growing mightily and prevailing.

In Acts 19, you read that all of Asia and the pagan world worshipped the goddess Diana (Acts 19:27). Paul, Apollos, and other disciples were in Ephesus at this time calmly and daily reasoning with these idolaters. They did not blaspheme the name of Diana (Acts 19:37); they simply reasoned from the Scriptures for two years in Ephesus, “so that all who lived in Asia heard the Word of the LORD, both Jews and Greeks” (Acts 19:10).

How do you share your faith in Christ? God’s Word is powerful. In Ephesus, reasoning from the Word of God caused heathens to burn their pagan books with a combined worth of 136 years of wages (Acts 19:19). That is incredible! Let God’s Word burn years’ worth of junk out of your life and share that Good News with others.

Pray Acts 19:17 and 20 over yourself and those for whom you stand guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).

“LORD Jesus, let Your name

be magnified in _________ and me. 

Let Your Word grow mightily

and prevail in our lives.

In Your name, Jesus~”
