…we cannot stop speaking about what we have seen and heard.
Acts 4: 20 (NASB)
The lame man who had sat at the Beautiful Gate of the temple every day had been healed. And everyone was talking about it. They made note that he was the one who had sat begging outside the city. He had been crippled since birth, more than forty years. A miracle had happened and everyone was amazed, especially the one who had lived low to the ground! He stood tall and was off running…he had a story to tell!
Even Peter and John couldn’t stop talking about it. They were arrested and warned not to speak or teach any further in the name of Jesus. The Chief Corner stone who many rejected and crucified was their Savior, and they were told to be silent.
He is the STONE WHICH WAS REJECTED by you, THE BUILDERS, but WHICH BECAME THE CHIEF CORNER stone. And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved. Acts 4:11, 12 (NASB)
There are miracles happening in our lives every day! Are we too busy to recognize them? Do we get excited about the small God-wink moments? Miracle blessings come wrapped in different packages; an unexpected visit, a leisurely lunch with a friend, a written quote tucked in our hurting hands, and sloppy kisses from a child. Are we aware of God’s healing presence in our life? Do we recognize His leading and opening of doors? He is a mystery worker; the unexplainable, unbelievable, shaker and mover of mountains… and our days. He does a great work in us and through us. He heals our wounds, and offers a new perspective, eternal security. Jesus, there is power in His name!
The lame man was healed in the name of Jesus and his perspective changed as he discovered beauty on his horizon. And he didn’t stop talking about it! God offers us the same restoration and deserves our heartfelt praise. We should go forth and tell others of His amazing deeds. The telling of our stories matter.
Pray for boldness to speak His great word and tell others of His mighty deeds!
Blessings,
