Over the past few weeks I have been going through Acts during my quite time. As I have been doing this I have been keeping what if in my the back of my mind. One of the passages that really stuck out was Acts 4:32-35. All the believers were one in heart and mind. No one claimed that any of their possessions was their own, but they shared everything they had. With great power the apostles continued to testify to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And God’s grace was so powerfully at work in them all that there were no needy persons among them. For from time to time those who owned land or houses sold them, brought the money from the sales and put it at the apostles’ feet, and it was distributed to anyone who had need. When I read that, I had such conviction. I broke down and wept before the Lord because I had just thought about how I was so excited to get Christmas decorations, and to decorate my house(with being newly married-we dont have all that stutt yet) and not that there is anything wrong with have all that stuff. I love all those things, but it has started becoming something that I think about all the time. There is such a need all around me and I am focusing Christmas decorations. With reading this passage it really brought to light with how I can easily make the unnecessary things become important in my life. I have no idea what God wants me(and my husband) to do, but I do know that I want to be in His will and I dont want those things that really dont matter to become first in my life. My prayer is that, as believers, #whatif we could stand firm and stand together and do what God calls us to do.
