“Now go, and remember that I am sending you out as lambs among wolves.”
Luke 10:3, (NLT)
In this verse, Jesus also reminds His disciples that they will be going out “as lambs among wolves.” We face a real enemy, who prowls around like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour. Our advisory, the devil, will undoubtedly try to discourage us, distract us, and hinder our efforts. Today, pray that God will place a hedge of protection around us and keep Satan from pulling us away from our mission to share the gospel. Pray that we will keep our eyes on the Lord knowing that no matter what we may face – HE IS IN CONTROL.
Prayerfully,
Madison

In this verse, Jesus gives a clear and simple command – “Now go.” You may be familiar with the Great Commission found in Matthew 28:19-20, “Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always even to the end of the age (NLT).” It’s time we take this command seriously and obey. Although these verses are often used to reference foreign missions, we must not forget that every day we live on a mission field that is ready for harvest – NOW. Today, pray that God would open our eyes to the needs of those around us. Ask Him to create an urgency within us to see our family, friends, and neighbors receive God’s free gift of salvation.
