Monday the 26th

Acts 11: ¹⁷So if God gave them the same gift as he gave us, who believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I to think that I could oppose God?"

 

“who was I to think I could oppose God”……We all have choices to make in our lives. We all are put in the same situation as Peter was. God makes His will clear, and we have a choice. Do we follow it (even if we do not understand right at the beginning) or do we decide to head off in the direction that we “know” to be right? How often do we feel a pull to go in a direction that we know will not be comfortable for us? How often do we feel urged to step out of our comfort zone, yet we decline the offer? Peter had no idea what was to come of this journey, he simply knew that he must go….and who was He to question God…..when he got there Peter went inside the house, a house that under law was forbidden for him to enter…… but who is he to question God….. and then once Peter started the preaching the blessings start pouring out….on to people that were thought to be beyond God’s help……What was Peter to do after all…..who can oppose God? This message is a clear reminder that no one is beyond the Lord’s reach….no one. It reminds us that no one knows the Lord’s plan fully…..no one. Most of all it is a reminder that no one can oppose God…..NO ONE.. What is God calling you today? Where is the Lord pointing you to go? Is it down a path that is unfamiliar to you? Maybe the road looks rough, and seldom used. Whatever the case one thing is clear, He needs you to go. HE needs you to take that step….that first, so important first step in faith, and trust that while we might not understand the plan, we understand and know that God is with us, and who are we to oppose God?

 

I lift up my wife in prayer today, and ask for you to please do the same. she has been sick…..worse that I have seen her in quite a while, who know….maybe it is God’s way of slowing her down….maybe it is God’s way of reminding me of all the things that she does that I take for granted…whatever the case, please pray that today she finds her strength renewed, her faith strengthened, and her body revitalized. Amen
