Acts 5: 38 Therefore, in the present case I advise you: Leave these men alone! Let them go! For if their purpose or activity is of human origin, it will fail. 39 But if it is from God, you will not be able to stop these men; you will only find yourselves fighting against God.”
The disciples have done miraculous things in Jesus's name. The people even carry ill persons to a place where Peter's shadow will fall on them as he goes to church. Just his shadow has a healing power! But the authorities want to stop them, and they speak about killing them. One disciple stops that kind of talk with these comments. ((BTW they just beat them and let them go with a warning to stop talking like that.)
I'm wondering if our country won't find itself fighting against God. We can't honor the words from God in Exodus about how to treat foreigners. We follow hate and fear to places I would not have conceived possible a year ago. I pray that God's followers will see Him in their emotional rants against His people. And they will stop this rejection of God's people.
Prayer: Lord, guide my country. If it's Your will that's what I want. If it's not, show us how to resist those in power. Let love, not fear, guide Your people.
Amen
