Day 5 - Acts 16:1 - 28:31
Wow, what an amazing week! I pray that God has spoken to you as you have read through the books of Matthew and Acts this week. Today you should be finishing up week 1 of New thru 30, and if your week has been like mine I know that God has challenged you, spoken to you, showed you areas that you need to work on and on top of all of that has refreshed your spirit as you have absorbed His word.
One of my favorite verses in the passage that we are reading today is Acts 26. In that chapter I love v.19 & 28. Paul is standing before King Agrippa, being questioned about his ministry and basically fighting for his life, when he speaks these words in v. 19 -
"So King Agrippa, I did not prove disobedient to the heavenly vision..."
What about you, can you honestly say today that you have done everything that God has called you do, have you been obedient to the vision that He has laid out before you, are you seeing the seeds that you have sown ready for the harvest? Look what happens in v.28 -
Agrippa replied to Paul, "In a short time you will persuade me to become a Christian."
Theologians have argued about the specifics of this verse, but my belief, Smoak's interpretation of this verse is simply this, God spoke to Paul and Paul was obedient to the vision and because of the way that Paul lived his life and the transformation that had taken place, King Agrippa wanted to know more about Christianity. Today, I challenge you to live your life in a way that everyone you come in contact with wants to know more about Jesus!
