Scripture to Read: Acts 2:43
Think about the last time you were in absolute awe of what God has done or is doing or what you know He will do in the future. Now, if it was challenging to come up with something, it’s not that God is not working miraculously every day; it’s because we miss His handiwork due to allowing ourselves to be distracted by the garbage the world offers us each day. We read in Acts 2:43, Everyone kept feeling a sense of awe; and many wonders and signs were taking place through the apostles. We must guard our hearts against everything the enemy uses (Ephesians 6:12) to distract us from what God is doing each day. The believers in the first church were in awe every day as God used the apostles to perform incredible miracles. Now, we might think that if we saw more miracles, we might be in awe every day too, but it’s not that God is not doing miracles—we miss the miracles that God does right before our eyes. For example, God is saving lost souls worldwide every day. We miss this miracle from God because we listen to secular reports from lost people who will never report how God is working in this world. God is sanctifying us every day through His Word (John 17:17, Ephesians 5:26), through the blood of Christ (Hebrews 9:11–14), and through His Spirit in us (1 Peter 1:2). His miraculous power fills us so we can share Christ. God deserves our “awe;” therefore, we must guard against spiritual blindness (John 12:37–43).
