ASLC Devotions - Thursday

 Acts 20:2  When [Paul] had gone through those regions and had given the believers much encouragement, he came to Greece.

Much of the book of Acts is the story of Paul's missionary journeys. He traveled throughout much of modern-day Turkey and Greece (and Mediterranean islands as well) spreading the gospel and proclaiming the good news of the life that's available in and through Jesus. It often makes for great adventure reading. This verse could almost act as a summary of the whole thing: "when Paul had gone through those regions and had GIVEN THE BELIEVERS MUCH ENCOURAGEMENT, he came to Greece."

That's what Paul did. He traveled around and gave the believers encouragement. He encouraged them to stay true to the faith in the face of persecution. He encouraged them to live together peacefully and as one. He encouraged them to worship and pray diligently. He encouraged them. Who will you encourage today? Who encouraged you yesterday?

In Christ,
Pastor Seth
