Here are my reflections and comments from today’s scripture from Our Daily Inspirations App.
My brothers and sisters in Christ, before I read or comment on God’s word, I pray that He prepares my heart to receive his guidance and ask that He uses me as his vessel to comment on His word.
The scripture is from Acts 4:19-20, “But Peter and John answered them,‘ Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you rather than to God judge for yourselves, for we can’t help telling the things which we saw and heard.’”
The devotion is titled Overwhelmed With Passion by Heather Tietz. We are reminded of courage of many people who defy authorities to do God’s will. Whether we are called to rescue, build, fight, or tell others about Jesus, God can start a passion in you that will give you the courage to follow where He leads.
Reflection: What in life can we find ourselves most passionate about? What aspect of our faith do we find ourselves most passionate about? Do we have a passion for God that is as strong as our passion for other things or other people?
Here was my response: To be honest, I find myself most passionate about tennis. I like the workout, competition, and commonality among fellow tennis players. Have no doubt that I have the strongest passion for God and keeping Him first in my life, seeking out and doing His will.
My Prayer for us: Dear God, please give us passion for those things You’ve created us to do for You. Help us to bravely move forward. Let our actions and words be full of love. In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.
