Scripture:
“So continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they ate their food with gladness and simplicity of heart,”
Acts 2:46 NKJV
Observation:
Immediately following the outpouring of the Holy Spirit and Peter’s sermon, the above words describe the early church. “They ate their food with gladness and simplicity of heart.” Many times we complicate things that really need to be done with simplicity of heart.
Application:
Simplicity of heart, to me, means that they simply loved the Lord and each other. What they were doing was not a detailed plan of how to win souls and make disciples. They were not strategizing how to build a bigger, stronger church. They were simply loving God and loving others. Sometimes we need to get back to the Gospel of simplicity.
Prayer:
Lord God, help me to get back to the simple Gospel of loving You and loving others. Help me to walk in love and live a simple life, doing what You want me to do each day. Teach me not to make it hard to serve Christ, but to keep things simple in this age of technology and business growth plans and conferences.
Yours,
Jeff
