Your Faith Journey 82
After Peter healed a man who had been unable to walk, a crowd quickly gathered around “astounded” by what they were seeing (Acts 3:10). “Peter saw his opportunity,” then shared the truth with them (Acts 3:12 NLT). He explained, “For it is the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob—the God of all our ancestors—who has brought glory to his servant Jesus by doing this” (Acts 3:13 NLT). The God of the ancestors of the crowd described in Acts 3 is our God as well. Just as the Lord brought glory to Jesus by working through the Holy Spirit to heal the man unable to walk, the Holy Spirit is activity at work within believers today. Many of us have had parents, grandparents, and great parents pass their faith along to the generations after them. It is our responsibility to share our faith in Christ with the generations coming after us. How are you intentionally sharing your faith in Christ with the next generations? Are you seeing your opportunities and responding to them? If not, now is a great time to pray for God to enable you to see the opportunities you have and to give you the courage to respond.
