Acts 1:14 (NIV)
14 They all joined together constantly in
prayer, along with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with
his brothers.
Jesus' resurrection changed everything! The women who were
so faithful to him through the crucifixion and resurrection are there,
obediently praying in expectation. As we might expect, Jesus' mother is there
praying as well. But look carefully and you will see Jesus' brothers, once
doubting and ridiculing him, now praying in expectation of their risen
brother's release of power through the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Yes, they
are waiting, but not idly waiting. Yes, they are praying, but they are also
expecting the great work of the risen Jesus which will be done through them!
God does amazing things when people who love the risen Jesus pray with
expectation. So what are you waiting for? Get with a group of those who love
Jesus, and pray with expectation for God's work to be done through you.
Thought for today:
Am I diligent in my prayer?
