Don’t get in the way!
When God wants something done, it’s going to get done no matter how much some people try to get in the way. We’re reading in Acts about how God wanted to spread the good news about Jesus to everyone and in this passage we see some very powerful people trying to get in the way.
The disciples would have been in no trouble with the law if they had just kept quiet about Jesus, but they knew that God had told them to speak the good news to everyone, and they knew better than to get in the way of what God wanted. The high priest had them arrested for doing what God wanted them to do, but the prison couldn’t stop God. God freed them from prison and told them to go right back to the temple and keep telling people about Jesus.
If you’re following God’s word as you live your life and you’re doing what God wants you to do, don’t let other things get in the way, because God will just knock them aside so that you can continue doing what God wants. If you’re not doing what God wants you to do, that means you’re getting in the way just like the high priest and his followers. We don’t want God to knock us off to the side, we want to be a part of what He’s doing. So, don’t get in the way!
