Meditate On
Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived
that they were uneducated and untrained men, they marveled. And they realized
that they had been with Jesus.
Acts 4:13
Practice
Jesus' Presence And 'Smell' Like Him
Have you ever been in a room filled with cigarette smoke?
Perhaps you were in a small restaurant and there were a number of people
puffing away. The whole place was smoky and your hair and clothes soon began to
smell of smoke. And even after you left the restaurant, you still smelled of
smoke!
In the same way, you cannot spend time in the presence of
the Lord without His glory, His majesty, His beauty, His power, His love and
His peace rubbing off on you. You will begin to "smell" like Jesus,
be bold like Him and be filled with peace like Him! No wonder Acts 4:13 records
this about Peter and John: "Now when they [the rulers and elders of
Israel] saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were
uneducated and untrained men, they marveled. And they realized that they had
been with Jesus."
Beloved, practice the presence of the Lord wherever you
are. Talk to Him. Spend time with Him. You will experience the undeniable
evidence of His presence in your life!
