His life is in him.

Acts 20:7-12, 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.

Paul’s focus wasn’t on the miracle, but on his relationship with the Lord. It was his intimacy with the Lord that allowed him to see what the He wanted to do in each situation, much like Jesus did. Are we seeking a miracle, or really seeking to know the Lord more fully every day?

Thank You that You are always available for us to know You more fully every day!
