Significant verse:
11:21
What does the verse say?
The believers who scattered due to persecution, continued to speak
about Jesus Christ to Jews first, and then to Gentiles. And the
power of the Lord was with them and a large number of the Gentiles
believed and turned to the Lord.
What is God saying to me?
Persecution did not keep the believers from speaking about Christ to
the hungry. And the power of the Lord was with them, as opposed
to not being with them or even being against them. Lord, I ask
that your power would be with me. I ask that your power would be
with our church as we seek to reach the hungry. Lord, whatever
might keep your power from being with us--expose it and help us to
remove it: unbelief, little faith, distracting priorities, cares
of this life, fear. Lord search my heart and prepare me to be a
vessel of power. Let your power be with us.
