Acts 17:2
As was his custom, Paul went into the synagogue, and on three Sabbath days he reasoned with them from the Scriptures,
Jackie C. from Somewhere said:
These three weeks are the reason behind the books of 1,2 Thessalonians. God always provides before we even know we have the need.

Acts 6:10
But they could not stand up against the wisdom the Spirit gave him as he spoke.
Jackie C. from Somewhere said:
Every student of the Word, every teacher of the Word, every minister and pastor of the Word of God, every missionary, needs the anointing of the Spirit of God in order to proclaim the truth. As the context tells us, that won't mean that we have no opposition, but it does mean that we can reflect the Spirit of Christ (v.15) during the adverse circumstances!

Acts 3:5
So the man gave them his attention, expecting to get something from them.
Jackie C. from Somewhere said:
There's a great principle here that we don't need to overlook. Peter and John knew they had to have the man's attention first. The lame man looked--focused--at them, and he expected to receive something from them. Apply this to worship or Bible study for success. Focus on the Lord and expect to receive from Him!

"I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.
Jackie C. from Somewhere said:
This entire chapter is so rich. I love it because it's one of the "I AM" passages identifying Jesus as God. It's also a great chapter on the security of the believer. I love the relationship pictured between the shepherd and his sheep; that's a great comfort!

Luke 19:15
"He was made king, however, and returned home. Then he sent for the servants to whom he had given the money, in order to find out what they had gained with it.
Jackie C. from Somewhere said:
We too will have to give an account of what we have done with all that the Lord has given us. And that's a sobering thought.

Luke 16:11
So if you have not been trustworthy in handling worldly wealth, who will trust you with true riches?
Jackie C. from Somewhere said:
True riches then are not tangible material riches. There is a connection between the way we handle our material resources and the blessings of spiritual riches that God bestows upon us. I believe we are to remember Esau in connection with this verse.

Luke 9:48
Then he said to them, "Whoever welcomes this little child in my name welcomes me; and whoever welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me. For it is the one who is least among you all who is the greatest."
Jackie C. from Somewhere said:
I am reminded of John 1:12 as I read these words--"As many as received Him, to them gave He the power to become the sons of God". We are reminded of the humility that our Savior always displayed, that Paul describes in Phil. 2:2-9.
