For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of God’s glory displayed in the face of Christ. But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us.

The Promise of Today

Here's the truth that I'm gonna be clinging to today:  God works powerfully through people by his Spirit even when they don't understand.  At the beginning of Acts the apostles were still not really getting some of the finer points of Jesus' plan for the kingdom (Acts 1:6).  But even with the misunderstandings was Peter in front of thousands ten days later preaching the sermon that would start the avalanche movement of Christianity (Acts 2)?  Better believe it.  Seek wisdom from God if you don't have it (James 1), but trust him no matter what.
