“Meanwhile the apostles were performing many miraculous signs and wonders among the people. And the believers were meeting regularly at the Temple in the area known as Solomon’s Colonnade. No one else dared to join them, though everyone had high regard for them” (Acts 5:12-13 NLT).
Maybe you’ve invited your friends and family members to church until you’re blue in the face. Quite possibly your neighbors known your worship service times as well as you, since you’ve asked them to attend for the past several years—weekly.
But you still don’t see them in the crowd on Sunday morning?
Trust God.
The apostles had to. They had to believe God was working behind the scenes, even when they saw no evidence of it.
You do, too.
Your commitment level is noticed by those not committed to Christ. Your dedication to your house of worship is affecting others. Your dedication to God and His ways has a ripple effect that goes far beyond the walls of your house.
People notice. They observe your faithfulness and sense your concern. And when they come to Christ? They’ll be wishing they’d have listened to you sooner.
