Song # 1579.1 from Our Gospel In Song Collection by Col Johnston. The Book of Acts tells us in chapter 4 that Peter and John were questioned before the Sanhedrin. After being released they prayed to God.
Peter and John raised their voices together in prayer to God. “Sovereign Lord” they said “you made heaven and the earth and the sea, and everything in them” (Acts 4:23-24). “You spoke by the Holy Spirit through the mouth of your servant, our father David ‘Why do the nations rage and the peoples plot in vain?’ ” (Acts 4:25). “ ‘The kings of the earth take their stand and the rulers gather together against the Lord and against His anointed One’ ” (Acts 4:26). “Indeed Herod and Pontius Pilate met together with the Gentiles and the peoples of Israel in this city to conspire against your holy servant Jesus, whom you anointed” (Acts 4:27). “They did what your power and will had decided beforehand should happen” (Acts 4:28). “Now, Lord, consider their threats and enable your servants to speak your word with great boldness” (Acts 4:29). “Stretch out your hand to heal and perform miraculous signs and wonders through the Name of your Holy servant Jesus” (Acts 4:30).
After they prayed, the place where they were meeting was shaken. And they were filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke the word of God boldly (Acts 4:31).
Thought for today: trust in God today, and prepare for your tomorrow.
Thought for the future: God’s help is only a prayer away. Where will you spend your eternity?
