Acts 26:28 “Then Agrippa said to Paul, ‘Do you think that in such a short time you can persuade me to be a Christian?’ Paul replied, ‘Short time or long- I pray God that not only you but all who are listening to me today may become what I am, except for these chains.”

Paul has such confidence in knowing exactly who and what he is. He carries such a conviction within him at all times. His encounter on the Damascus road obviously changed him forever!! Paul really understood first hand the futility of a life lived outside of a relationship with Christ. He truly is a changed man and as such he longs for every other human being to experience the kind of life he has come to know in Christ. So whenever an opportunity arises Paul makes a point of holding nothing back, so when he finds himself before King Agrippa – Paul is going for gold, he is taking his best shot leaving the results up to God.

I wonder what kingdom opportunities I have missed by simply not being prepared. What results have not ever had the chance to emerge simply because I never gave them chance to see the light of day? I need to become more like Paul, armed and ready to take the shot whenever the opportunity arises! Who knows where it will lead or what destinies will be changed!

My Prayer: Father help me to always be prepared to share the faith that I have at a moments notice. Grant me wisdom and discernment to know where and when to take the shot and leave the rest up to you!
