Re:Verse passage – Acts 2:1-13, 36-47 (day six)
The disciples may have been waiting for the Holy Spirit, but they had no control over when or how He would come. They couldn’t have predicted a mighty rushing wind, tongues of fire, or that people from every nation would hear the praises of God in their own languages, culminating in 3,000 coming to faith in Jesus as Messiah.
It makes me wonder: do we sometimes limit God, not by lack of faith, but by lack of imagination and anticipation? Have we lost the wonder of what He can do through His Spirit at work in His Church?
The story of Pentecost reminds us: the Spirit moves in unexpected ways, at unexpected times, for the sake of God’s glory. May we recover our awe, open our hearts, and trust that He still moves with power today.
