There is a moment of a scene in Acts 23, a short description in verse, and here's what it says, "The following night, the Lord (Jesus) stood near Paul and said, "Take courage..." Who doesn't need more courage, but rather than focusing on the courage…here’s what I love. The following night, Jesus stood near Paul and spoke. Jesus stood near Paul and spoke. And Paul heard the word of the Lord. Listen, I believe the same is true today.
There are times when Jesus is standing near you speaking. In fact, what if this is the very word that God wants to drive deep into your heart with a gentle challenge to listen. When Jesus comes close, give him your ears. We won’t gain anything, if we don’t listen.
