Passage Read: Acts 2-3
Meditation Verses: 3:12,16

Thought

Miraculous signs weren't to draw attention to the worker, but the Lord. The man was healed by the faith that Peter had (or the man himself had when Peter told him to stand). The miracle would win a hearing for the Gospel, but Peter was quick to point out that it wasn't him who healed the man, but faith in Jesus. That is the purpose of miraculous signs, to bring glory to Jesus.

Application

I want that faith, the faith to command things and see them happen, whether healing the needy or silencing fools with blindness. I want to believe this Jesus, who has such power, whose power hasn't changed in the least these past two millennium.
