Day 224 of 365

Ordinary People, Extraordinary Boldness

“Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus.”

Acts 4:13 (KJV) |

What This Means for You

The religious leaders were stunned. Peter and John were uneducated fishermen, but they spoke with authority and courage that made no sense. Then the leaders realized: these men had been with Jesus. That's the only qualification you need. Time with Him changes you in ways a degree never could.

Try This Today

If you've been feeling unqualified for something God has put in front of you, stop comparing your resume to others. Spend fifteen minutes with Jesus today and remember: being with Him is the credential that matters most.
