“The Wonders Of God”
When the
day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a
violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were
sitting. They saw
what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of
them. All of them
were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the
Spirit enabled them.
Now there were staying in Jerusalem God-fearing Jews from every nation under heaven. When they heard this sound, a crowd came together in bewilderment, because each one heard their own language being spoken. Utterly amazed, they asked: “Aren’t all these who are speaking Galileans? Then how is it that each of us hears them in our native language? Parthians, Medes and Elamites; residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya near Cyrene; visitors from Rome (both Jews and converts to Judaism); Cretans and Arabs—we hear them declaring the wonders of God in our own tongues!”
Acts 2:1-11
Anytime God gets involved, expect wonderful things to happen. Across our country and around the world, we often experience the dramatic effect of something no one can see. During each hurricane season, we are shocked as winds of more than 100 miles an hour threaten to destroy what we have built.
All of this is the result of an unseen force. God works that way in us. He works in all of us as we progress in this life. If you are a follower of Christ, be encouraged. The Holy Spirit bears fruit in your life. The Holy Spirit is a powerful Person in our lives – even though we can’t see Him.
The Holy Spirit works powerfully, though invisibly.
