Great Courage
Acts 4 Have you met the naysayers and those who see the evidence of your faith and yet deny the power by which you were saved? Just as with Moses, so God was with Peter and John for the evidence again was the defining point. How often do we feel threatened and others threaten us for speaking the words of the Lord? Yet, as with Moses and Aaron, so it was with Peter and John. God gave them the courage and the words to speak to the threatening elders. God is saying, will you trust Me to give you the words to speak at the right time because I do not wish any to perish but all come to repentance and salvation.
Over and over I have prayed for those I wish to be saved, yet the ones to whom I speak say as Pharaoh and the religious leaders said: “Who is the Lord that I should obey him?” They ignore the evidence and they will die in their sins if I do not have the courage to speak to them again and again and again. God give me the courage to speak and leave the results to you.
