READ
Acts 8:4-8
Philip Preaches in Samaria
4 But the believers who were scattered preached the Good News about Jesus wherever they went. 5 Philip, for example, went to the city of Samaria and told the people there about the Messiah. 6 Crowds listened intently to Philip because they were eager to hear his message and see the miraculous signs he did. 7 Many evil spirits were cast out, screaming as they left their victims. And many who had been paralyzed or lame were healed. 8 So there was great joy in that city.
REFLECT
Philip, referenced above, was one of the seven men chosen to help with the food distribution program in the church. The persecution during this time forced the believers to scatter which led to them preaching the Good News. Look what happened! Many evil spirits were cast out, many were healed and there was great joy! This is the God we serve. He is able to make good things out of the bad for His glory! Amen!
APPLY

God, thank you for working all things for good! Your grace is sufficient for me! Teach me to have more faith in You and to encourage others when they are suffering. Show me Your miracles and remind me of Your faithfulness in all situations. You are a good, good Father! Thank you!
