Lord, You are not only ‘the Holy One of Israel’. You are ‘the God of the whole
earth’ (Isaiah 54:5). We thank You that the Gospel is for ‘all nations’. The ministry of Christ’s
apostles began in ‘Jerusalem’. We thank You that it did not end there. The Gospel was
to be taken ‘to the ends of the earth’ (Luke 24:46-47; Acts 1:8). Taking
the Gospel out from Jerusalem to the ends of the earth was not easy.
The apostles faced much opposition. We thank You that they stood upon Your promise: ‘No
weapon formed against you shall prosper’ (Isaiah 54:17). When, Lord, we face opposition,
help us to take our stand on Your Word: ‘If God is for us, who can be
against us?’ (Romans 8:31). Even when our words seem to fall on stony
ground, give us the strength that we need to keep on speaking the Word of Your love: ‘With
everlasting love I will have compassion on you, says the Lord, your
Redeemer’ (Isaiah 54:8).
