Psalm 13 - Cry out to God in the midst of troubles.
1 Samuel 19:1-24 - Interesting in this story that Saul's son, then his daughter seek to protect God's chosen one David. And in a strange twist even Saul is prophesying and not able to oppose David.
Acts 28:1-15 - As we come to the end of Acts I find myself thinking about Paul's acts of healing in this chapter. My first reaction is that I wish I had this gift from the Holy Spirit, particularly yesterday as I was riding home and saw people gathered around a dog who had gotten off his leash and was struck by a car. I wished I could have done something and I'm envious of the early disciples and of many Christians around the world who do actually heal others. One thing I forget though is how often Paul had to fight the belief that he was the power behind it. Perhaps too many have used this for their own gain, and maybe God knows this is not a gift for me.
