Acts 7 - 9

What stood out today: v7:3 “Leave your country and your people,” God said, “and go to the land I will show you.” v8:35 Then Philip began with that very passage of Scripture and told him the good news about Jesus. v9:31 Then the church throughout Judea, Galilee and Samaria enjoyed a time of peace. It was strengthened; and encouraged by the Holy Spirit, it grew in numbers, living in the fear of the Lord.

My response: Yes, Lord, it is a new land, your kingdom. We must leave our country, our family and go. Jesus, show me this new land. Show me this good news about you, Jesus! Show me this peace. Show me this power, show me this courage. Let me show and tell others. Let me live in this fear of the Lord; this place of Shalom.
