May 18, 2011 - Act 4
Okay, so this is such a great chapter. Check out this verse:
But Peter and John answered them, “Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you rather than to God, you must judge, for we cannot but speak of what we have seen and heard.” Acts 4:19-20 (ESV)
What have we seen and heard from Christ that we should be speaking about?
Now, look at the prayer:
And when they heard it, they lifted their voices together to God and said, “Sovereign Lord, who made the heaven and the earth and the sea and everything in them...
for truly in this city there were gathered together against your holy servant Jesus, whom you anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, along with the Gentiles and the peoples of Israel, to do whatever your hand and your plan had predestined to take place.
And now, Lord, look upon their threats and grant to your servants to continue to speak your word with all boldness, while you stretch out your hand to heal, and signs and wonders are performed through the name of your holy servant Jesus.” Acts 4:24, Acts 4:27-30 (emphasis mine)
God is the doer, plain and simple. May we be the voice that God grants the ability to speak His Word with all boldness. And may we leave the doing to Him.
