Scripture

Acts 2:25-28

25. David said about him: ‘ I saw the Lord always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I will not be shaken. 26. Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will live in hope, 27. because you will not abandon me to the grave, nor will you let your Holy One see decay. 28. You have made known to me the paths of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence.

Observation

On the day of Pentecost the Holy Spirit came and touched the Galileans and they began to speak in tongues. Some made fun of them and described them as being drunk with wine. Peter and the disciples stood up and told them that they were not drunk but touched by the Holy Spirit and began to speak the words of the prophet Joel.

Application

My interpretation of this scripture is that as long as you have the faith and trust in the Lord nothing will bring harm to you. It is interesting to observe the people in today’s society and is clear to distinguish those with the love of God in their life and those without. To often it is easy to get distracted with all the materialistic things in the world. But in the end none of it really matters. What matters is where your heart lies with the Lord and how you live your life according to His ways.

Prayer

Dear Lord, please don’ let me be distracted with the materialistic things in this world so much that I block out the words you are trying to speak to me. Open my ears so that I may hear your word and live a life that is meaningful. With all this I pray in Jesus name Amen.
