Sometimes in life there is a greater power.
Sometimes we don’t understand this.
Looking through the Bible we see smaller lessons and
teachings from God that are practical and everyone can practice.
Love your neighbor as yourself.
Love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind and soul.
Very very good parts that everyone can do and learn from.
Certain areas are above us but still show the power of God.
There was this guy named Elymas who was trying to lead the
proconsul of that time from hearing the message of God and Jesus that Paul and
Barnabas were bringing.
Yet Paul gets harsh with him.
We are supposed to love but also be true to our faith and
call people out.
Listen to this in Acts 13:9-11…
“Then Saul, who was also called Paul, filled with the Holy
Spirit, looked straight at Elymas and said, “You are a child of the devil and
an enemy of everything that is right! You are full of all kinds of deceit and
trickery. Will you never stop perverting
the right ways of the Lord? Now the hand of the Lord is against you. You are going to be bling and for a time you
will be unable to see the light of the sun.”
Dude went blind.
This was as real as real could be.
Elymas was trying to deceive the people and Paul set him
straight.
The proconsul saw what happened and believed in Jesus for
what he witnessed.
When talking to people about faith we need to do it with
love while also being blunt and not sugar coating it.
Kinda hard when you are stuck in the middle.
We won’t always have stories about miracles where this could
happen.
The power of God is amazing and that is the same God I
believe and give my life too.
Have a great day.
