You will receive power to speak truth

Morning: Psalm 103; Ezekiel 47:1-12; Luke 1:1-4

Evening: Psalms 67, 96; Isaiah 52:7-10; Acts 1:1-8

Yesterday, my mother lamented, “Graham, I forget so much!” “Me too,” I said.  Given the failings of human memory, we are fortunate that Luke, whose day we mark today, wrote what he did … more than 25% of the New Testament.  Without his Gospel and Acts, we might forget what was accomplished by the power of the Spirit. But through his ‘orderly account’ of Jesus and the apostles, especially Paul, Luke reveals that the power of the Spirit to speak truth is available to us all … when we open ourselves to a power greater than our own.
