Acts 3:10
“and recognized him as the one who sat at the Beautiful Gate of the temple, asking for alms. And they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him.”
This man is leaping for joy and praising God. As weird as that would be in the grocery store today, it was even more of a scene at this time and place. They all knew this man, and his chronically crippled condition. This filled them with wonder and amazement. They are wondering how this happened, and are amazed at what they are seeing and can be barely believe what they are witness to. Their minds are off balance, but wonder and amazement alone are not enough to save souls.
God is preparing the
Pulpit for Peter to
Preach, and their hearts
To receive Peter’s
Message
This sign is opening their mind to the gospel, and their hearts to the Truth. This man was changed physically and spiritually, and God is using this physical change to prepare their hearts for the transformation of their soul. Father God, thank You for the many ways You work, and for the ways You speak. Allow me to recognize Your hand today, and trace Your work in my life, and trust Your heart toward me, as I walk with You today, in Jesus’ name, Amen.
ACTION: Trace God’s hand, and trust His heart
