Scripture: Acts 4:13-14 13 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.14 But since they could see the man who had been healed standing there with them, there was nothing they could say.
Observation: They are the rulers, elders and teachers of the law meeting in Jerusalem. They recognized that Peter and John were ordinary (not trained in the church). Yet they were performing miracles in Jesus name. “They” are acknowledging that ordinary men, having been with Jesus were performing miracles and people were listening and following Peter and John.

Application: Recognize that Jesus uses ordinary people. Having been with Jesus, we are able to witness and perform miracles in His name. I need to have courage to do whatever Jesus calls me to do.
Prayer: Lord Almighty, please forgive me for limiting you. Lord God, you are astonishing. Lord, help me today to be an astonishing witness for you. Thank you for your love and sacrifice for me. Amen.
