Today we are reading Acts 3. In this chapter we read about Peter and John healing a man on the way to the Temple. The people gather in amazement and look at Peter and John as if they did this in their own power or strength. “And when Peter saw it he addressed the people: “Men of Israel, why do you wonder at this, or why do you stare at us, as though by our own power or piety we have made him walk? The God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, the God of our fathers, glorified his servant Jesus, whom you delivered over and denied in the presence of Pilate, when he had decided to release him. But you denied the Holy and Righteous One, and asked for a murderer to be granted to you, and you killed the Author of life, whom God raised from the dead. To this we are witnesses. And his name—by faith in his name—has made this man strong whom you see and know, and the faith that is through Jesus has given the man this perfect health in the presence of you all.” Acts 3:12-16 ESV When we consider our personal ministry we must always remain humble. I heard Pastor Robert Morris speak about his ministry where he was concerned that his church was growing too fast and he told God “this is too big for me!” He then said God told him, “It has always been too big for you but it is not too big for me!” The same is true for us. It is God who does the work—we are just being His instruments! May God do something amazing through you today! Pastor Tim
