Acts 5:38-39 - "So my advice is, leave these men alone. If they are teaching and doing these things merely on their own, it will soon be overthrown. But if it is of God, you will not be able to stop them. You may even find yourselves fighting against God."
This passage serves as a powerful reminder of the sovereignty of God and the futility of opposing His will. It’s a call to discernment, urging us to carefully consider the motives and origins of our actions. Are we striving on our own, or are we aligned with God’s purposes?
My prayer and hope is that God is in my fight. How do I ensure this?
I study the Bible because I believe it is His word. The Bible is the foundation of truth. By immersing myself in Scripture, I seek to align my thoughts, actions, and motivations with God's will. It’s through the Word that I gain clarity and direction, knowing that His truth endures.
I pray. Prayer is my lifeline to God. It’s in these moments of communion with Him that I lay down my worries, seek His guidance, and ask for His strength. Prayer isn’t just about asking for things; it’s about seeking His heart and aligning my desires with His.
I fellowship with others and learn from their counsel. God often speaks through the community of believers. I value the wisdom and insight that comes from fellowship with others. Their experiences and perspectives can sharpen my own understanding, keeping me grounded and focused on God’s will.
I think. God has given us minds capable of reason and reflection. I use this gift to discern and contemplate my actions. By thinking deeply about my motives and the potential outcomes, I strive to ensure that my actions are in harmony with God’s purposes.
As I have done this, I am even more convinced that the truth belongs to Jesus. In a world filled with competing voices and ideologies, it’s easy to be swayed or confused. But when I anchor myself in Christ, I find that His truth is unshakeable. It is a truth that stands the test of time, a truth that brings life and hope.
We all need to be careful—if we are against God, we will not win. This is a sobering thought. It’s not just about avoiding mistakes but about actively seeking to be on God’s side. To oppose God is to fight a losing battle, but to align with Him is to walk in victory, no matter the challenges we face.
So, my prayer is that God is in my fight, that my actions are guided by His hand, and that I walk in His truth. With God on our side, nothing can stand against us.
