“On the first day of the week, when we were gathered together to break bread, Paul talked with them, intending to depart on the next day, and he prolonged his speech until midnight. There were many lamps in the upper room where we were gathered. And a young man named Eutychus, sitting at the window, sank into a deep sleep as Paul talked still longer. And being overcome by sleep, he fell down from the third story and was taken up dead. But Paul went down and bent over him, and taking him in his arms, said, “Do not be alarmed, for his life is in him.” And when Paul had gone up and had broken bread and eaten, he conversed with them a long while, until daybreak, and so departed. And they took the youth away alive, and were not a little comforted.”Acts 20:7-12 ESV

All,
This stands out because it’s almost a afterthought that Paul brought the youth back from the dead. Paul’s focus was spreading the Gospel and God gave him the ability to glorify God in many ways while spreading the Gospel, but the healings were not Paul’s focus. God knows the challenges we will have in doing His purpose and He already has solutions for them according to His purpose. Please pray that we and our friends focus on glorifying God today. Please pray for the CLC Prayer breakfast on 2/18.
