Devotion 12/12, There is no secret what God can do!
We are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses. . . . Hebrews 12:1
Hebrews 12 offers some helpful encouragement on our role as witnesses for Jesus Christ. In the previous chapter, Hebrews 11, the writer has listed examples of faithful followers of the Lord from early times—Noah, Abraham, Moses, Rahab, and many more. They all lived as faithful witnesses of God and of the ways God worked in their lives. Then in Hebrews 12 we are told that these souls make up a great cloud of witnesses who cheer us on as we serve the Lord today.
We see the power of faithful witnesses all around the world. The gospel is bearing fruit on every continent. You and I, wherever we find ourselves, are invited to fix our eyes on Jesus and run the same race. May God bless and equip each one of us to be his faithful witnesses!
Jesus, thank you for the cloud of witnesses who cheer us on. Help us, we pray, to be your faithful witnesses always. Amen.
Our message to one another and to those we are witnessing to, there is no secret what God can do!
