Berry Patch Devotions in 2021 - Day 243
Devotional Song: ... GO TO THIS LINK ... Please take the time to take in song and lyrics from Steve Green singing … People Need the Lord … poignantly singing of God’s charge to share His love/grace with so many who need the light of His salvation.

Highlight Passage: Isaiah 12:4 [NLT] …
4 In that wonderful day you will sing: “Thank the Lord! Praise His name! <b>Tell the nations what He has done. Let them know how mighty He is!… All those who believe on the Messiah are called to share His wondrous salvation with all who need His saving grace.
=============
Highlight Passage [Context]: … Isaiah 12 [NLT] … USE THIS LINK …
… Isaiah prophesies that when the Messiah comes to save His chosen ones, all those who know Him as Savior are called to praise His Name and sing His praises.
==============
Reference Passage: … Matthew 29:19-20 [NLT] … USE THIS LINK …
… Jesus “great commission” to all believers to share Jesus, making disciples and teaching them everything the Lord demands of His disciples.
Reference Passage: … Mark 16:15 [NLT] …
15 And then He told them, “Go into ALL the world and preach the Good News to EVERYONE. …”
… After the resurrection, Jesus appears to His disciples and rebukes their unbelief, calling them to go and proclaim the Gospel truth about Him to EVERYONE.
Reference Passage: … Acts 1:8 [NLT] …
8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere — in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”
… Jesus’ charge for all who know Him as Savior to witness to His glorious salvation.
Reference Passage: … 1Timothy 4:13 [NLT] …
13 Until I get there, focus on reading the Scriptures to the church, encouraging the believers, and teaching them.
… Paul charges Timothy (as God charges us) to share God’s word and His Gospel truth with others who need to know and follow the Lord.
My Devotional Journal: Today's Our Daily Bread author, Amy Boucher Eye, AT THIS LINK … shares how Dwight Moody, the now famous 19th century evangelist, resolved shortly after his conversion to never let a day go by that he didn’t share the gospel caring to salvation with at least one person daily.
And as Steve Green sings in the linked song and the Scriptures above proclaim, … several of those from Jesus’ charge to disciples, … we, who call ourselves disciples of Christ, … are called to go forth and share the Lord’s Gospel truth of salvation for those who are willing to repent of their (our) sin and receive God’s saving grace by believing on the name of Jesus … as LORD!
And so, all of us may not be Dwight L Moody’s, feeling called to share Jesus daily with someone; but, as Christ’s disciples, we are certainly called to do all we can,… whenever we are given the opportunity, … to share Christ and His truth with a world who, as Steve Green sings, desperately need our Lord.
My THANKFULNESS: ... Oh, Abba Father, thank You, King Jesus, … for giving me opportunities to share Your saving grace and the truth of Your word with others who need You … perhaps today.
My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I pray that all reading here will join me, … to go out and share Your saving grace and the truth of Your Gospel with a world who desperately need You. … Amen
