“For this people’s heart has become calloused; they hardly hear with their ears, and they have closed their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts and turn, and I would heal them. Acts 28:27
Acts is called by many “the Acts of the Holy Spirit”. It ends with the fulfillment of the Prophecy from Isaiah 6: 9-10. As a number of the Jews did not listen, Paul says,
“Therefore I want you to know that God’s salvation has been sent to the Gentiles, and they will listen!” Acts 28: 28
When the mighty power of the Holy Spirit happens but people just don’t listen, don’t believe, what can we do? What I have received today is what the Lord said to Paul that day, “You have tried your best. This is not your responsibility anymore. Put your effort to those who are willing to listen.”
Dear Lord Jesus,
Help me to get over with the sadness of seeing people not willing to listen. Teach me to wisely use my time to serve you. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
