Life Lessons with Dr. Steve Schell
Religion & Spirituality:Christianity
How far did God have to go to reach you? Some of us came to Him quickly and easily as children, others not until late in life. But taking that first step toward God was not the end of the matter. However and whenever we came to Him, as life progressed, we found that holding on to Him is a challenge. Events happened that caused us to question God’s goodness or power. Doubts arose about the historical truth of what we had embraced. People argued with us or ridiculed us for our childlike trust until we felt foolish for believing things we couldn’t “prove.” And if that weren’t enough, at some point we found our obedience to Christ got us in trouble. To remain loyal to Him cost us something that mattered to us. We had to let go of something or someone in order to hold on to Him. And the more we became aware of the world’s genuine hostility toward our faith, the more we understood that real persecution might be a price we’d have to pay. So, our walk with Christ not only started with a choice to believe, it has required many choices to believe along the way.
These first few verses of Acts remind us that God doesn’t abandon us to struggle alone with these issues. His Holy Spirit is always with us to refresh our faith, but He also sends us people to come after us when we wander and stand beside us when we’re weak. Amazingly, Luke wrote the Book of Acts to strengthen the faith of one man.
