Many believed in the Lord.

Acts 9:40-42, But Peter put them all outside, and knelt down and prayed; and turning to the body he said, “Tabitha, arise.” And she opened her eyes, and when she saw Peter she sat up. And he gave her his hand and raised her up. Then calling the saints and widows, he presented her alive. And it became known throughout all Joppa, and many believed in the Lord.

By our nature, we look for formulas and recipes, something that we know will always work, but God’s ways are beyond our understanding. Peter walked as did Jesus, able to see what God was ready to accomplish, and obeying Him. By faith he saw that God was moved to return Tabitha to life. God is still moving today in many amazing ways, that many may believe in Him!

Help us to walk in faith as did Peter, that others may come to know You.
