February 9, 2012

We head home today! Bethany will join us for breakfast, and Jerry will pick us up at the airport tonight. This has been a very good vacation. The marathon framed the trip for me, and having successfully completed it, I have thoroughly enjoyed the days here in Glendora. It is so good to live in Bethany’s environment for a few days, spend time with her friends and faculty, and adjust to her schedule. We do not currently have another trip planned, either to come here or for her to travel our way.

Acts 2

Reading this chapter from The Message version is a fresh and powerful experience, taking me back to that first day of Pentecost, the outpouring of God’s Spirit on all flesh as prophesied by Joel. This chapter also contains a reference to David prophesying about the Christ, his descendant who would rule the Kingdom.

In the church we remember this event 7 Sundays after Easter. As a follower of Christ it is good to remember this event as often as possible, and to daily be open to the power of God that now flows through believers. In Springfield, in Missouri, California and around the world the power of God is available for salvation, for witnessing, for healing and for expanding the Kingdom.

May my walk today, most Holy Lord, be filled with Your power as I pursue Your will and serve You with joy.
