Believe

In the first reading, we see the disciples committing their lives and their service to Jesus. They profess that they are convinced and believe that Jesus is the Holy One of God. In so doing, they live their lives as such. We can see Peter in the first reading healing people, even raising people from the dead. Yes, God keeps his promises that he will be with them as they proclaim his word, his kingdom (See reflection http://mysimplereflection.blogspot.com/2012/04/eyes-on-him-who-equips.html  ). What a God we have, keeping his promises to us!

Do we believe God’s promises? Do we believe his word, the bible? When he says he will take care of us and we shouldn’t worry, do we believe (Mt 6:33)? When he says nothing is impossible for him, do we have faith (Mt 19:26)? When he says he will help us in our challenges, do we know for certain it is true (1 Corinthians 10:13)?

May we learn to trust in God, that he will be true to his promises (Numbers 23:19). God loves us so much!

God bless!
