On June 13, 1889, the Spokane newspaper printed an editorial pleading for the establishment of a fire department. Seattle had recently been ravaged by fire, and the paper desired to prevent the same calamity from happening in Spokane. Nothing, however, was done. Two months later Spokane burned to the ground.
Acts 23:1 Paul looked straight at the Sanhedrin and said, “My brothers, I have fulfilled my duty to God in all good conscience to this day.”
Apostle Paul had a clear conscience of the fact that, he was being led by God in everything that he did. He did not leave any stone unturned in his preaching of the gospel. Every opportunity he had was used to the maximum to win souls and spread the truth. Whether it be high officials, rich people or even poor folks, Paul’s message was same without any guile. His confidence came from the clear conscience.
In our lives, we stand behind because we tend to be low on our confidence in the things of God. Anything and everything that happens to us, we tend to equate that as God’s punishment. Sometimes we are not able to serve God effectively, because our conscience is not clear. In the things of God, we need confidence, which can’t be bought by money but by HIS grace alone and living a life worthy of HIS calling.
