Bible Verse of The Day – 6-6-24

Acts 9:35 (NKJV) 35 So all who dwelt at Lydda and Sharon saw him and turned to the Lord.

These people who turned to the Lord had just witnessed a man named Aeneas be healed. To them it was a sign.

The healing of this man would bring many to Christ.

We may have no idea why many things happen, but God uses things like this for a purpose.

And that purpose is to help people see God in a way that they cannot deny it is Him. And this is the very thing that often causes us to turn to Him.

Some of us may state that we have given our heart to Jesus Christ. But have we actually turned to Him?

Have we allowed Him to help us make those necessary changes in our lives that will make a difference in our relationship with Him?

The word “turn”, used in the opening verse, means to change direction; To move so that we are in a different position.

Some Synonyms would be: change course, swing round, wheel round, veer.

Change direction or change course; two very important steps.

This is exactly what should happen to us when we have been convicted in our heart, and we have put our faith in Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior. This “turn towards Him” is a must.

There has to be a change of direction in our walk. And a very noticeable one at that.

Whether it’s the words from our mouths, our habits, our thoughts, our entertainment choices, our friends and family that we spend time with. Whatever we are convicted of and we now know better, we must turn from. And doing so will cause a change of direction.

We do not want to be apart from His peace that comes when we turn to Him.

1 Peter 3:11 (NKJV) 11 Let him turn away from evil and do good; Let him seek peace and pursue it.
