Acts 19:1-8; Psalm 68; John 16:29-33

Be brave

Jesus’ exhortation to his disciples is one that we would be wise to listen to today: “Be brave.” In the face of uncertainty and trouble, when we suffer loss and isolation, Jesus says “Be brave.” Being brave means taking wise action even though we feel afraid. Pray today with Jesus’ words, “Be brave: I have conquered the world.”
