Absorbing God’s Word
“When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place.” Acts 2:1-11
Applying God’s Word
The word “THEY” is described as God-fearing Jews from every nation who were in Jerusalem for the Feast of Shavuot. I’m pretty sure Jesus orchestrated this union between Jews and early Christians on purpose. The reading goes on to say that all were filled with the Holy Spirit, not just some…All. Shavuot and Pentecost are usually celebrated within days of each other every year. Do you think UNITY was then and is now important to God?
Although I was raised Christian, I didn’t make an adult decision to follow Jesus, until age forty. Some very holy men explained Pentecost, the baptism of the Holy Spirit and then asked to pray with me. Those same men held me accountable to daily prayer, reading scripture, reflecting on what I read and the application of God’s truth to all the areas of my life.
Accounting of God’s Word
Have I made a decision to follow Jesus? Am I praying, reading scripture, reflecting on it and applying it in my own life?
