Daily Reading

Forgive me - it's been a very busy couple of days! This is the first time I have logged on to my computer since Thursday.

Daily Reading: Acts 4:1-37; Psalm 37:1-11; Proverbs 10:3-4

Those chief priests & leaders are up to it again. They thought they had ended this issue when they had Jesus put to death. But now, His uneducated disciples have taken up were Jesus left off. Oh, the troublemakers! Rather than be amazed at the wonderful works that the disciples are accomplishing - the proof that Jesus was who He said He was - they are offended that these non-professionals are swaying the loyalties of the people. So, what do they do? They threaten, but Peter & John do not give up their calling. And this is a good point to remember -fear God, not man; look to the eternal, not the temporary.

Notice also that the disciples didn't run away scared or pray for God to save them. Instead, they prayed for boldness & they continued on. So, keep on keeping on. Trust God to get you through whatever you're dealing with today & pray for boldness that you may share your faith with others.

The psalm & proverb of the day provide a good deal of encouragment - trust in God, don't worry about those that seek to harm you, work hard & enjoy the fruits of your labor. God is there, always there, so put your faith in Him & find peace & joy.
