Life Applications & Lessons from the Book of Acts (Vol. 65)
We can find many life applications and lessons in the Book of Acts. Let’s take a look at some of these lessons, and see how we can apply them to our lives.
Many times when we read the Bible, we see it as stories of things that happened many years ago. These true stories are filled with life applications and lessons for us to use in our daily lives. Here are a few from this week.
Life Applications and Lessons – Acts
Acts 19:32
- This is a great example of mob mentality.
- Be careful not to jump into things, even opinions, just because a friend, family member, or crowd feels that way. Have your own opinion after looking at the situation with a fresh set of eyes.
- Let the Lord guide you in these situations. Seek His opinions – they are true!
Acts 20:22-24
- Without purpose (knowing what you are called to do), your life may seem a little meaningless to you. Please know that it is not meaningless.
- Seek His purpose for your life and live it out. That is where you will find true happiness.
