Starting a New Testament Book- Galatians 1
God, use this book to teach me something new about You. Open my eyes to Your Word. Make it new to me. Allow me to see what You want me to.

This first chapter of Galatians is Paul talking about how he was called by God. "God, who set me apart from birth and called me by his grace was pleased to reveal his Son to me so that I might preach him among the Gentiles."
I think about how I would feel if someone who hated Christians all the sudden started preaching... It would be pretty hard to accept that teaching I think, but what did they do?
"They only heard they report: "The man who formerly persecuted us is now preaching the faith he once tried to destroy." And they praised God because of me."
How cool is that? They just praised God. That's it. Praised God.

In everything I do on this day, let me Praise God.
