Scripture : Acts 13: 49 The word of the Lord spread through the whole region. 50 But the Jewish leaders incited the God-fearing women of high standing and the leading men of the city. They stirred up persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them from their region.
Observation It is amazing to me that when the good news is heard and people believe there is always some who will come afterward and cause a problem.
Application: Paul did his best along with his co-horts to bring the church together and to spread the gospel to everyone he came in contact with--still there were those whose power and comfort were threatened and instead of embracing God's grace and love and finding their place in that--they wanted to stay with the status quo.
What would it be like if blindness and deafness could be cured and all could see the goodness of God in the promises made? What would it be like if prosperity were found in giving our blessings away and bringing peace and comfort to those who need it?
Prayer: Lord, I pray that your people come together and look to you for answers, I pray that the Holy Spirit will be able to break into hearts that are confused by the world and bring your peace and assurance to them. I pray for a greater understanding of scripture so that I may be stonger in proclaiming Christ from this day forward. Thank you Lord for loving me, Stephen
Yieldedness: May You use me to bring unity where ever I can.
