What God Can Do!

Acts 4:13 NIV "When they saw the courage of Peter and John and realized that they were unschooled, ordinary men, they were astonished and they took note that these men had been with Jesus."

During my readings today, I am just amazed at what God can do out of our failings. Here is Peter, whose claim to fame is denying Jesus three times before the cock crowed on his most vulnerable night. We don't remember that Peter was an amazing speaker, powerful because of the Holy Spirit in him, who lead thousands of people to a belief in Christ.

David's worst sin was with Bathsheba. He saw her bathing one day, had an affair with her, had her husband killed in battle and then took her into his court and married her. The consequence was sure - their first baby died. However, out of this sinful relationship came Solomon - Israel's wisest king, Solomon - whose wisdom is applicable even today.

I am just amazed at what God can do, even though we fail (and fail BIG). When we turn back to Him, He can make us powerful and strong to do His great work!
