“for truly in this city there were gathered together against your holy servant Jesus, whom you anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, along with the Gentiles and the peoples of Israel, to do whatever your hand and your plan had predestined to take place. And now, Lord, look upon their threats and grant to your servants to continue to speak your word with all boldness, while you stretch out your hand to heal, and signs and wonders are performed through the name of your holy servant Jesus.” And when they had prayed, the place in which they were gathered together was shaken, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and continued to speak the word of God with boldness.”

All,
This stands out because they said, “Lord, look upon their threats and grant to your servants to continue to speak your word with all boldness”. Do you need boldness in your conversations today? I suspect more of us are like Peter and the rooster than we think? Look at the difference in Peter now as he is empowered by the Holy Spirit. Please pray that we and our friends will ask the Holy Spirit for boldness in our speech and thoughts today. Please pray for the CLC breakfast in two weeks on 12/13.
