Scripture: Acts 4:31
After they (Peter & John) prayed, the place where they were gathered was shaken. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began speaking God’s word with confidence.
Thought for the Day: Some of our men are at the Regional Men’s Retreat this weekend. I drove to Lake Brownwood Retreat Center on Friday, and then left yesterday afternoon to come back in time for worship this morning. Though I cut out early, it was so good to be in a beautiful setting with over a 100 other men to sing, pray and share. I heard two exceptional keynotes, and though I can’t say the place physically shook, there was a palpable vibration as the Holy Spirit moved among us. It seems a bit strange that I was gone from Houston for only 30 hours – 10 of them were in the car driving and 7 of them were sleeping – which leaves only 13 hours of real retreating, yet I feel renewed and energized by my time away. It may not be as long as you’d like it to be, but I pray that each of you finds a little retreat in the next few weeks. Try to carve out even a few minutes at some point to pray, listen and to be refilled with the Holy Spirit.
Prayer: Guide us into places and times where we can catch our breath and connect with you, O God of Grace and Goodness. Amen.
