Acts Chapter 13

Brothers and Sisters 😊

📖 In Acts chapter 13 today we see…

“The Word of God turning toward unbelievers” (gentiles) in vs 46, and extending specifically to open the eyes of the powerful Roman Governor (Proconsul), who had great influence over a large province and territory.

Q. How would our views about government change if we truly believed that God was completely sovereign and in full control over our political leaders, and His good and perfect plan would be accomplished no matter who was in charge of our nation?

🙏 Heavenly Father forgive me for not praying more often for our political leaders, thinking that somehow they are outside of your reach, or too elite or corrupt to be saved and changed.

🙏 Lord Jesus we praise you today that you are “Mighty to Save”, and that in the same way we have been saved from our own sin and corruption by your grace, even the most misguided politicians (regardless of political party) can be transformed by you also to influence many in bringing the love and compassion of God to the world – Thy will be done…

✝️ “As the Gospel was spreading throughout the whole region, the gentiles began rejoicing and glorifying God, and as many as were appointed to eternal life believed…Then the Governor of the territory also believed when he saw the wondrous works of God occur, for he was astonished at the teaching of the Lord!”
