SCRIPTURE:
But the following night the Lord stood by him and said, “Be of good cheer, Paul; for as you have testified for Me in Jerusalem, so you must also bear witness at Rome.”
Acts 23:11 NKJV
OBSERVATION:
How encouraging must it have been for Paul that ‘the Lord stood by him’? When the Lord stands by you and says, “Be of good cheer”, you can do anything. It didn’t mean pleasantries ahead but it did mean purpose ahead.
APPLICATION:
Can I believe that the Lord stands by me? When I’m living for Him, the Lord stands by me. When I’m facing challenges, the Lord stands by me. When I need cheer, the Lord stands by me.
PRAYER:
Lord, Thank You for standing by me. Amen.
