"While the beggar held on to Peter and John, all the people were astonished and came running to them in the place called Solomon's Colonnade. When Peter saw this, he said to them: 'Men of Israel, why does this surprise you? Why do you stare at us if by our own power or godliness we had made this man walk?'" Acts 3:11-12
Every significant spiritual work is Jesus' work. Peter readily recognized and gave glory to Jesus for the healing of the lame beggar. When we see spiritual work being done and impacting the life of people we should recognize that it is Jesus who is doing it. Our tendency may be to credit a person or take credit ourselves for the work being done. We are privileged to be God's instrument in the work but like Peter we need to quickly give God the glory and thank Him that He has allowed us to participate.
Father, I thank you for the privlege of participating in your work. Help me to recognize your working and to always give you the glory with a grateful heart.
I'm praying for you.
