Today’s Scripture: As I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell on them just as on us at the beginning. Acts 11:15 ESV
The Holy Spirit gave Peter a message to save others and the Holy Spirit fell on those he was speaking to. This same Spirit leads you and me.
As Peter began to speak the Holy Spirit fell on THEM. Did they even hear what Peter said or did they hear the Spirit? I trust you hear now what the Spirit is telling you.
Let us all trust that the Spirit will take what we have and complete God’s purpose through us. He will provide us the words to say and them the ears to hear. He WILL fall on those we are to help.
The last verse in chapter eleven we are told that they were encouraged to give what each person could. What each of us has is enough. What little we have the Holy Spirit will use.
You have something to give today, trust the Holy Spirit to complete it.
Today’s Prayer: Father God, I trust Your Spirit. Please use what I give and complete Your purpose through Your Holy Spirit. I glorify and trust You to use my offering to complete Your will. May Your words and Your Spirit fall upon the hearts You intend so they too will offer up Your saving grace. Show me what I have to give and help me to give generously trusting in Your majesty. Amen
