Bible Verse of The Day – 11-13-23

Acts 28:3 (NKJV) 3 But when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks and laid them on the fire, a viper came out because of the heat, and fastened on his hand.

As Paul was busy gathering wood for the fire, he was bitten by a viper; a poisonous snake that should have killed him.

The natives in the land saw this and knew that Paul faced certain death.

Acts 28:4 (NKJV) 4 So when the natives saw the creature hanging from his hand, they said to one another, “No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he has escaped the sea, yet justice does not allow to live.”

But Paul was no ordinary man.

He had great faith in God and trusted Him wholeheartedly, knowing that the power of God was far bigger than the venom of a snake bite.

What did Paul do?

Acts 28:5 (NKJV) 5 But he shook off the creature into the fire and suffered no harm.

He never even blinked. He shook off the snake and kept going.

You see, this is the God we serve; the God who operates far outside the bounds of our understanding, and outside the realm of natural possibilities.

If something is impossible in the natural realm, it is possible for God.

He created everything that we see simply by speaking.

He spoke and the worlds were formed. Darkness was replaced with light. An empty void was filled with everything that we see around us.

The stars, the sun, the wild creatures, the sights and the sounds of oceans, rivers and small streams are all the handiwork of our Father in heaven.

These things can all speak to us if we let them, showing us the incredible magnificence of our God.

Let us not tie His hands in our own lives by believing He is capable of less than He is.

Our faith and trust in Him are what unlocks the door for Him to move mightily on our behalf.

His ability to work and move in our lives is limited only by our faith and trust in Him.

Luke 17:19 (NKJV) 19 And He said to him, “Arise, go your way. Your faith has made you well.”
