I like how this version phrases this. Peter "stepped forward", verse 14. That is sooo cool. Here they are gathered in the upper room and then a "mighty rushing wind" comes upon them. I was just referencing this last night at our youth service. I don't believe it is coincidence that it is on the "daily reading" on my youversion blog. wow.
Anyways, what a cool way to learn to speak in another language, I sure could have used this help in High School and College. :-)
We can't forget about Peter here. Remember, he was feelin pretty down on himself, he just denied Christ 3 times and the "rooster crowed" and now he is dealing with the loss of his close buddy because of crucifixion. Again, he is feelin pretty lame. But again, despite him running and his denial, here he is "stepping forward." This is the POWER that Jesus talked about before. With out the Holy Spirit upon Him he ran, with the Holy Spirit he stepped up.
Where will you step up or rather forward? Where will I? I can do ALL things through Christ who strengthens me." one of my favorite verses. We have been given strength and power to do what Christ has asked us to do. To ask the same question as I did last night. R u too busy to let God in? R u too busy being busy?
If you are, I pray that God reminds you, like He needs to remind me that... I am eternal and all things around me are temporal.
just my 2 cents.
