The Holy Spirit never ceases to amaze me.  He is constantly at work in the world and He provides the guidance necessary to faithfully follow Christ.  I love what Luke says about the Spirit’s leadership in Acts 16:6-10.

Once again we see God simultaneously moving in two different people to change them both.  Cornelius and Peter were both prepared by God.  Cornelius was prepared to receive Christ while Peter was prepared to deliver Christ.

In Acts 9 Luke tells us that Ananias is a key player in Saul’s conversion.   Can you imagine the courage required for Ananias to go visit this guy who was breathing out murderous threats against anyone who claimed to follow Christ.  There is no doubt that he was nervous about the visit.

There is so much incredible stuff happening in Acts chapter five that I have never caught verse 12-14.   The believers were gathering but no one else dared to join them even though they were highly regarded.

The Word of God is Powerful.  I am amazed by the transformation it produces in my life.

How do you keep yourself full of joy.  Well according to a guy who is locked up in prison the key is unity. Philippians 2:2 then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and purpose.
