Psalm 19 - Interesting that David here speaks of God's work in creation alongside His Law. These often seem like two different motifs. What David is showing us in a creative way here is that God's Law, or will is not limited to the behavior of humans. This both shows the awesome depth and breadth of God's power and will, and also that any attempts to make God's will for our lives a relative thing hold no ground.
Joshua 4:1-24 - God repeats some of His miraculous work for this new generation of Israel.
Acts 9:23-43 - I'm often tempted to wish I could do miracles. Maybe it would make my job a lot easier. But the truth is that the miracle is never a fail-safe for gaining disciples. Even Peter in Joppa is only able to have "many believe". That's not everybody. It also seems like the woman through her good deeds drew many into a position of faith when Peter did arrive.
