Acts 5:15
“so that they even carried out the sick into the streets and laid them on cots and mats, that as Peter came by at least his shadow might fall on some of them.”
These people actually believed that Peter’s shadow could heal them, but this does not say that his shadow actually healed anyone. Great signs and miracles were happening and reveal the compassion of God, the Truth of the gospel, and that these men are God’s ordained leaders of the early Church. When we do not see signs and miracles, it does not mean God is less active, but that we must walk by faith, and not sight, AND we must not lose sight of the main goal of God.
God still works miracles
But God’s main goal
Is saving lost souls
Miracles continue today, but the salvation of lost souls must be our main goal, not physical healing of those who will still die! Father God, keep my eyes upward and on You, my heart in rhythm with Yours and my feet on mission with You. Help me to not be distracted, but laser focused and on mission with You, in Jesus’ name, Amen.
