Today’s Reading: Leviticus 13; Leviticus 14; Acts 17
Scripture: Acts 17:5 But the Jews were jealous; so they rounded up some bad characters from the marketplace, formed a mob and started a riot in the city...
Observation: Here we have some people from the religious establishment who get jealous because of the success that the followers of Christ are experiencing. And, or course, they resort to violence. If these religious people think that they are truly of God, why don't they just pray or something less sinful. I guess they didn't think of that.
Application: It never ceases to amaze me that there is always a rent-a-mob available for the Christ haters. It was true when they were hating Jesus himself and it has been true ever since. If you are a follower of Christ, don't be surprised if someday there is a rent-a-mob after you. But don't worry, trust Jesus. He can handle the mob and he will take care of you.
Prayer: Thank you, Lord, that you take care of your own. And I know that even when the good people suffer and the bad people prevail, the true result is yet to be known for you will make all things right one day. We count on your eternally-powerful justice. We count on you.
This I pray in Jesus’ name, Amen.
