DIRECTING THEIR ATTENTION
Today's reading: Acts 13-14

"...We have come to bring you the Good News that you should turn from these worthless things to the living God, who made heaven and earth, the sea and everything in them." Acts 14:15 NLT

Paul and Barnabas were in the city of Lystra healing the sick and proclaiming the Good News of Jesus' birth, death and resurrection.

The people were so very amazed at their ministry that they began to worship them. The men of God. Gods in human bodies.

Paul and Barnabas quickly put an end to their plans.

They had to direct these folks' attention to God. By how they acted, by how they received thanks, by how they lived before them.

We have to do the same.

How we are living, loving, thriving and surviving must point to God and not to our abilities, our strengths or our resources.

People need to know the Good News of Jesus, not the so-so intelligence they have gathered about us.
