Giving God All The Glory

Acts 3:12-16
12When Peter saw this, he said to them: "Men of Israel, why does this surprise you? Why do you stare at us as if by our own power or godliness we had made this man walk? 13The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified his servant Jesus. You handed him over to be killed, and you disowned him before Pilate, though he had decided to let him go. 14You disowned the Holy and Righteous One and asked that a murderer be released to you. 15You killed the author of life, but God raised him from the dead. We are witnesses of this. 16By faith in the name of Jesus, this man whom you see and know was made strong. It is Jesus' name and the faith that comes through him that has given this complete healing to him, as you can all see.


Although this book is called the Acts of the disciples, it is actually the acts of the Holy Spirit. These people, Peter and John, were just men, just like you and me, but what really happened was what the Holy Spirit did through them.

God is an awesome God. He uses us to do His will. It is so that He may be gloried, just as it was in this passage. His disciples gave God all the glory. We shall do the same.

Father God, I give you all the glory. I do your will so that You may be gloried. I can do no things, but only through your Holy Spirit may I be used. I pray that you may use me to do great things. I pray that I be so full of your anointing that miracles will happen through me, still giving you all the glory.
Amen.
