Every time I read the first words Paul spoke to King Agrippa it leaps out and grabs my heart. He said, "I think myself happy, king Agrippa, because I shall answer for myself this day..." Acts 26:2. He had previously said these words to the governor Felix, "I do the more cheerfully answer for myself," in Acts 24:10.
What I get out of it is that Paul uses the words, "Cheerfully" and "Happy." What words to say while being on trial with great human authorities, yet these words stand as a powerful testament. You can see and hear the eternal freedom.
Many people have a lot of trouble talking about the Lord to others. They complain about the way they sound, or feel completely inadequate. They shy away from any kind of verse in fear they will fail miserably, or get attacked by mean spirited people.
Paul said early on in his mission, "I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling." He knew he did not have what it took. He knew it was the power of the Holy Spirit completely.
Yet, eventually he stood before a king and spoke about Jesus Christ with power and joy even in chains. Never shy away from speaking about the Lord. Of course be wise and listen to the Lord. But let your voice be heard all the time. Share the wonderful things God has done for you. Give a verse from time to time, just never allow anyone or the devil control or tempt you. Make sure to always sing too.
Let the life flow of Jesus Christ run like rivers into this thirsty world.
"There was a day when I died; died to self, my opinions, preferences, tastes and will; died to the world, its approval or censure; died to the approval or blame even of my brethren or friends; and since then I have studied only to show myself approved unto God." ~ George Muller
