Act 4

The play of eternity was unfolding rapidly the days after Pentecost as Peter stood up to deliver an inspired speech.

He pleaded, "Now Lord, consider their threats and enable your servants to speak your word with great boldness. Stretch out your hand to heal and perform miraculous signs and wonders through the name of your holy servant Jesus."

As I read this passage today, I began to see something spectacular happening. I began to see threats as a type of challenge to my destiny. I began to open my sleepy eyes and rise out of my precious coma. I called upon God and declared, "I will not let the threats failure or words of unbelief take over, but I will speak the word of the LORD! I will possess the promised land!"

To be certain, there are setbacks. Paul talks about the concept of being content in every circumstance. The reason he could be content in everything was because he understood that God was in control of all things. The secret to living a fulfilling life is recognizing that God has the final say in all things. Shakespeare said something like we are all players and the world is a stage. Let's make sure we know who the director is and play our parts to perfection.
