Paul asked, 'King Agrippa, do you believe the prophets? I know that you believe.’
Agrippa said to Paul, ‘Are you so quickly persuading me to become a Christian?’
Paul replied, ‘Whether quickly or not, I pray to God that not only you but also all who are listening to me today might become such as I am—except for these chains.’
(Acts 26:27-29)
Wow! Paul had his God-given purpose at the center of his life which was to proclaim the good news the love of God coming in Jesus Christ by word and deed. So here he is on trial before King Agrippa with the audacity to ask his human judge, "... do you believe?" Such points to the reality of beginning one's witness with where people are at the moment.
LORD, keep me attentive today.
