Day 343: God Uses Paul's Past (2024)

In Acts 22, Paul's testimony falls on hostile Roman ears, and he
narrowly escapes scourging by way of his Roman citizenship.
Reflecting on this incident, Fr. Mike reminds us that God uses
Paul's past to further his ministry, and that God does the same
with each of us, today. Commenting on today's readings from 2
Corinthians, Fr. Mike highlights that we are called to be cheerful
givers and disciplined thinkers. He also points out that, as Paul
reminds us, the most important ministry credential is to be called
by God and equipped by his grace. Today's readings are Acts 22, 2
Corinthians 9-11, and Proverbs 29:5-7. For the complete reading
