Imagine you had a chance to be there in the upper room on Pentecost when the Spirit of God came...but you missed it. Imagine you missed it. You weren't there. You didn't join the group. Got distracted. Got scared. Other things were more important. You missed it. What did they have to do in order to receive the promise? Just wait. Be there. 120 men and women waited. They prayed. They didn't have to earn it. They just had to be there, they just had to join in. I know there are times when we are called to wrestle in prayer, to travail and battle in prayer, but what if sometimes we just need to be there.
I read the book of Acts and I envision extraordinary events. Things that make me go, wow! And then I look around me and I see spaces filled with ordinary people. I look within me and so often I feel like I'm even less than ordinary. There's extra-ordinary and there's ordinary and then there's Dan. 120 people were in that room that day; each and every one of them...ordinary. But what God can do through ordinary people submitted to the Spirit of God...now that's extraordinary!
Don't miss it!
