It is quite common to wake up before the sun rises. This morning, my wife and I decided to make some coffee and walk a few hundred yards down to the lake for a time of devotion together. We decided to let the Prince of Preachers instruct us on prayer from Morning and Evening. The cool breezes and warm fellowship made for a perfect start to the day.
I am planning to meet with a fellow pastor today at lunch. It will be good to support each other's ministry. Today, I will also begin more purposeful study in Acts 8. This is a turning point in the book, when Luke turns his attention primarily to Paul's ministry to the church. We will enjoy the evangelistic exploits of Phillip on te way to Saul's conversion in Acts 9. I enjoy the unique stylistic element that Luke uses in foreshadowing Paul's prominence later. He is most certainly a villian in Acts 8. The greatest enemy of Christ's Church will become her greatest herald!
Smash your idols today. Worship the Lord of Hosts (Psalm 24).
