ANSWER: C: Eutychus
Acts 20:9-12 esv
9 And a young man named Eutychus, sitting at the window, sank into a deep sleep as Paul talked still longer. And being overcome by sleep, he fell down from the third story and was taken up dead. 10 But Paul went down and bent over him, and taking him in his arms, said, “Do not be alarmed, for his life is in him.” 11 And when Paul had gone up and had broken bread and eaten, he conversed with them a long while, until daybreak, and so departed. 12 And they took the youth away alive, and were not a little comforted.

ENCOURAGING WORD:
His Vision For Your Life
Today's Scripture
“Jesus replied, ‘No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God’” - (Luke 9:62).
Thoughts for Today
Having God’s vision for our lives will always keep us moving forward, but without it, we will easily lose hope and give up.
We may never share the Gospel with kings, but God has a vision for our lives, just as He did for Paul. When you feel too insignificant to make a difference, remember that you are a child of the King.
Do you find yourself stuck and unable to move forward with God’s vision? You are not alone. When Moses led the Israelites out of Egypt, they faced the same apprehension as we do. When they reached the Red Sea, they faced mountainous obstacles to their side, a vast sea in front of them, and a powerful army behind them (see Exodus 14).
The people wanted to turn back in fear and stay in the past life that they knew. Moses, with good intentions, wanted to stay in the present: “The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still” (Exodus 14:14). But God wanted them to move forward into the future. “Then the Lord said to Moses, ‘Why are you crying out to me? Tell the Israelites to move on’” (v. 15). God helped His people supernaturally by parting the sea, but first He expected Moses to act in faith.
Sometimes we want to turn back in fear. Other times we may want to keep the status quo and wait for God to act for us. But God wants us to move forward with the vision He has given us. He will always be there to give His guidance, provision, and strength, but first we must be willing to step out in faith and follow His plan.
How willing are you to be a visionary for God? Are you willing to risk everything as Esther did? Are you willing to step out in faith like Moses? Going forward is not always simple. You will face disappointments and setbacks, oppositions and hindrances. But no matter what you face, God will see His vision for your life through to completion. Trust in Him.
Prayer: Our Loving Heavenly Father,
Thank You for never leaving me or forsaking me. I pray for Your power to see the vision You have for my life through to completion. Thank you for hearing and answering my prayer. Gratefully, In Jesus Loving Name I Pray, Amen.
