Focal Passage: Acts 9:42 "This became known all over Joppa, and many people believed in the Lord."
Observation: In this passage, Peter performs two miracles. As a result of both, many people were saved. People were saved because someone told the story of what had happened, or they were witnesses of it themselves.
Application: What miracle has God done in my life that I need to tell about? The obvious one that comes to mind is my salvation. That is the biggest miracle of all. I was dead in my sins, and Christ died on the cross to give me the opportunity to live free from those sins. If I simply tell my story of what God has done for me, both on the day of my salvation and since, how many might come to know Him?
I find it interesting that in the second miracle in this passage, Peter raises a woman from the dead. That is exactly what Christ does for us through salvation. We are dead in our sins, and He raises us into life with Him.
Prayer: Lord, Please make me sensitive to times when you want me to share my story. Guide me to do it only for your glory and your honor! Amen.
