Day 30 Humble Boldness
open my mouth to make known with boldness the mystery of the gospel. For this I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I might be bold enough to speak about it as I should. EPHESIANS 6:19–20, CSB
When we share the gospel, we are dependent on the Holy Spirit to give us the appropriate words to say at the right time. He guides us to know what questions to ask and when to ask them. He gives us the boldness to proclaim an offensive and joyous message in a humbling way. Paul’s prayer for boldness was a recognition that it is easy to shrink back from the truth of the message. It is easy to allow the opinion of our hearers, or our one, to outweigh the opinion of our Father.
Pray that it would not be so for you as you share the gospel. Pray the Holy Spirit would give you power to proclaim the gospel as we should and not just as we would like to share it. Pray He gives a humble boldness that knows what to say, when to say it and how to say it.
