"No one else dared join them,
even though they were highly regarded by the people. "- Acts 5:13
Every work day in thousands of offices across the globe, Christians testify
of God's grace in their lives in some way. Sometimes it comes through a subtle
performance of their duties with a smile and peace that non-believers cannot
understand. In other cases, there might be more visible, unexplainable examples
of God's work. This was the defining difference in believers in the early
Church. They lived a life that followed with signs and wonders that could not be
humanly explained.
The apostles performed many miraculous signs and wonders among the people.
And all the believers used to meet together in Solomon's Colonnade. No one else
dared join them, even though they were highly regarded by the people.
Nevertheless, more and more men and women believed in the Lord and were added to
their number (Acts 5:12-14).
How often we have heard non-believers acknowledge their respect for the
Christian workplace believer, but they dare not join them in their persuasion.
It is this fear of the unknown that keeps many a non-believer on the path to
hell. Who has God placed in your path today to help detour from a path of
eternal torment to a path of freedom and eternal life? The Lord desires that
each should come to knowledge of the truth so that they might be saved. As you
enter the workplace today, ask the Lord for a divine appointment that might be
the turning point for a lost soul. There's no prayer the Lord will delight in
more than this one.
