Monday – Gospels and Acts

Reading – Acts 3

Highlight Verse:

“Peter saw his opportunity and addressed the crowd. “People of Israel,” he said, “what is so surprising about this? And why stare at us as though we had made this man walk by our own power or godliness?”
‭‭Acts of the Apostles‬ ‭3‬:‭12‬ ‭NLT‬‬

It’s another banner day for the early church.

I’m certain that Peter and John had seen the lame man before as he was put there each day.

Perhaps this is the first time that he asked Peter and John for money. Perhaps this is the first time they listened to him.

I prefer to think that the Holy Spirit spoke to Peter and prompted him to heal the man.

As the commotion over the healing grew, that’s when Peter seized the opportunity and spoke to the crowd.

Because Peter listened to the Holy Spirit’s prompting and he seized the moment, His words hit home.

We find out in the next chapter that many who heard the message believed and that the church grew significantly.

All because Peter listened and acted, many were saved.

Have you heard that prompting from the Holy Spirit before?
Have you acted on it?
