5 THINGS I WANT TO KNOW

1-Why did God have the angel tell the lowest members of society, like shepherds, to go and see baby Jesus?

2-When the shepherds told others of their seeing the Messiah as a baby in a cattle stall would anyone have believed their whole story?

SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY   Acts 8:18-24

¹⁸ Simon saw that the Spirit was given to people when the apostles laid their hands on them. So he offered the apostles money, ¹⁹ saying, “Give me also this power so that anyone on whom I lay my hands will receive the Holy Spirit.”

²⁰ Peter said to him, “You and your money should both be destroyed, because you thought you could buy God’s gift with money. ²¹ You cannot share with us in this work since your heart is not right before God. ²² Change your heart! Turn away from this evil thing you have done, and pray to the Lord. Maybe he will forgive you for thinking this. ²³ I see that you are full of bitter jealousy and ruled by sin.”
²⁴ Simon answered, “Both of you pray for me to the Lord so the things you have said will not happen to me.”

PRAYER FOR TODAY

Father, we thank You for the shepherds whose hearts are fashioned in Your likeness, who lead us with knowledge and understanding. Protect them from the evil one. We look to our shepherds for example, guidance, and clarity and affirmation of the teachings from the Word of God. It is Your wisdom given to wise men and Your knowledge given to those of understanding who illumine our way in these days of confusion where wrong is upheld and right is disdained by the current philosophies and Mindset of the world. We will persevere even if the foundations are destroyed, living for Jesus drawing others to Him in whom the light dwells. Amen.



I WISH YOU LOVE IN YOUR HEART.....PEACE IN YOUR SOUL.....AND JOY IN YOUR LIFE.....ALWAYS!!!
