Father, King of All,
As we read through Acts, we ask that Your Kingdom would come in our needy world, that Your will would be done here on earth as it is in heaven. Remind us that the power of Your Spirit is in ordinary people – each of us — as we walk with You.

Song: Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus (For lyrics, click on subtitles/closed captions.) – Rejection, suffering, physical pain didn’t stop the early disciples. Their eyes were on God’s glory, not their momentary troubles. They rejoiced and never stopped telling others. What is our focus in times of trouble?

He was given an opportunity to save his life by denying Jesus. His answer: “Eighty six years I have served Him, and He has done me no wrong. How then can I blaspheme my King and Savior?”
