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.

Daily life applications from Acts

 

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.
  • Knowing that the hardships awaited him didn’t stop him from going, because he knew he had a bigger purpose to fulfill.
Courage quote from John Wayne

  • 22:19-20 “But I said, ‘Lord, they know…'”
  • 22:28 “But I was born a Roman citizen…”
    • The Lord plans our paths, purpose, and calling.

If you have joined me recently, these daily life applications from the Bible are examples of some of the comments I am writing in the Bibles I am giving to my grandchildren when they graduate from high school. Click here to see the post where I explain this eternal gift idea. I want to give them all the resources I can to use in today’s world!

The rose colored Bible is the one I am using for my youngest granddaughter, and I really love it! The brown study Bible is the one Jay uses for his personal Bible study.
