I am headed back to work tomorrow, but I wanted to be sure that I finished out my study in Acts. So I decided tonight to read 2 chapters. The story at this point is about Paul going before mutiple courts for the charges brought against him by a group of Jews. As he is presenting his case, there are 2 phrases that I really want to cling to today.
The first is in Acts 6:6....
"And now it is because of my hope in what God has promised our ancestors that I am on trail today."
My hope in what God has promised...wow! Doesn't that sound wonderful? Hope is defined as looking forward to with desire and confidence. Confidence...I love that word. I want to have confidence in what God has told me every day. Some days my doubting flesh gets in the way. I want to beleive, I want to listen, I want to walk in it.
The second verse was Acts 6:8....
"Why should any of you considerit incredible that God raises the dead?"
God can do everything, any way He wants to, beyond our expectations, above what we can ever imagine. Then why do we question Him so often? Why do we stand in disbelief? Why don't we know without a doubt that He can still perform miracles today? He is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow.
He who was, and is, and is to come!!!
