Bible Reading: Through Jeremiah 50, Acts 8-10
Reel thoughts:
- In the book of Acts, at one point it describes the church of having reverential fear of God, and the church prospering and everything going well for the people. Correlation?
- Saul's conversion- I love how when Annaias found him, he was praying. Saul already knew the basics, he knew of God, all he needed was a personal encounter with God.
- The entire time I've been reading Jeremiah, I can't help but sometimes get frustrated with the people of Israel for knowingly making the dumb choices they made. But then again, I've drawn so many parrallels to my own life where I too have "tested" God and it makes me even more thankful now for God's mercy bestowed on me when I've wandered willingly down wrong paths
- I've noticed that everywhere these early church Christians were, they're followed by signs and miracles. The preaching of the good news is accompanied by God's power. Is that still true today?
- Towards the latter end of both Jeremiah and now in Acts, the focus shifts to non-Jews. God cares about all of the world, He uses some as the entrypoint to get to others.
