Numbers 29:1-40; Proverbs 25:1-26:12; Luke 2:22-52
So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also. Romans 1:15
Paul had previously been a Pharisee who separated himself from the Gentiles. Now he was ready (willing, eager) to preach the Gospel in the capital of Gentile power. Burdened to preach Christ (Acts 9:15), he was willing to give up his own rights and desires for Christ’s sake (1 Cor. 9:19-22). We are not all gifted evangelists but every believer should have a burden to share the Gospel to those the Lord brings to us, and in the places He sends us. —George Ferrier
I’ll go where You want me to go, dear Lord,
O’er mountain, or plain, or sea;
I’ll say what You want me to say, dear Lord,
I’ll be what You want me to be. —Mary Brown
