After giving the faculty devotion at the all staff meeting the beginning of October, the headmaster asked me to repeat that devotion for the October school board meeting. The day finally came for me to do that. As usual, when asked to speak in public, I got really nervous.
However, as I stated in a previous blog, it is a privilege to talk about God. Even if public speaking isn’t your gift, when given the opportunity, you need to take advantage of it and speak up for God.
1 Peter 3:15 “Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have.”
If you were asked to give the reason for the hope you have, how would you answer? Would you share it willingly? Would you know what to say? Can you verbalize your testimony or the plan of salvation?
Peter wrote these verses to Jewish Christians who were being persecuted. Those of us who live in areas where we can freely share our faith need to be ready to do that and we need to take every opportunity to share. Never shy away from telling others about Jesus – no matter how nervous you get. Trust God, and “just do it.”
