Reading God’s Word:  Acts 25: 1-27; Psalm 117

Memorizing God’s Word: Romans 5:8, But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

Meditating on God’s Word:  Acts 25:10–11 (ESV) But Paul said, (to Festus) “I am standing before Caesar’s tribunal, where I ought to be tried. To the Jews I have done no wrong, as you yourself know very well.  If then I am a wrongdoer and have committed anything for which I deserve to die, I do not seek to escape death. But if there is nothing to their charges against me, no one can give me up to them. I appeal to Caesar.” 

Praying God’s Word:  Because of Paul’s appeal to the Roman Emperor Caesar, he spent years in prison awaiting his trial.  Paul wrote four of his “letters/epistles” while in jail.  In America I am not imprisoned for my faith.  Lord, help me and daily prompt me to use my freedom to show You to those around me.
