God's Providence

Acts 3:1-10 ~ Open My Eyes, Lord.

Posted on May 9, 2017 by Laura Zielke

This week we closely examined Acts 3:1-10 which details the healing of the lame man at the Beautiful Gate of the Temple in Jerusalem. Since archaeologists have yet to discover writings or inscriptions referring to a gate called “Beautiful,” we discussed the three most plausible theories for the location of the gate.

We also examined this section as a pericope (pronounced: pe-ri-ko-pee), a literary unit of thought, that was possibly a free-standing source Luke used in his history of the early church.

As we worked our way through the text, we observed certain ongoing activities intersecting in God’s perfect timing for the ministry of healing and the building of the Kingdom. God’s providence is just as active today as it was back then.

    Usually when “God providentially” brings me to His time of witness is not when I have pre-planned an encounter. The question is are we sensitive and ready or are we so preoccupied with “our stuff” that we miss a God planned time of a “power given opportunity” to bring spiritual healing as the encounter directs….be on the alert our flesh/mind gets in the way all too often!

Posted @withregram • @nativelandnet #YouAreOnNativeLand Powerful image. Posted @withregram • @susandavid_phd We all have those days (or weeks) when everything just feels wrong. So true. I love the Lab because the members are amazing humans who are changing the world! Posted @withregram • @harriet_lerner “Abortion is a sensitive issue for a lot of people. There are strong feelings about what others should and shouldn't do, what's "reasonable" or too far in terms of laws. But we're not talking about feelings. This is about sending doctors to prison, about the government forcing people to submit to pregnancy and childbirth against their will.” Image says, “ Forgo the Empire. Build yourself a blanket fort. Confidence. A life.” Posted @withregram • @melaninmajority Celebrate your freedom & privileges each & every day. Happy Juneteenth! ♥️💚🖤💪🏾 In honor of Juneteenth, I'd like to recommend a new book to those who are interested in the history of the United States and also offer an entry point for understanding why critical race theory is important to healing our country.⁣
