There will always be those who mock the miracles of God as these
Jews mocked these Spirit-filled Christians in Jerusalem. As we all know,
drunkards don’t speak clear, intelligible language, nor do they typically
praise God. It was 9 a.m. and any drunkards most likely were hung over from the
night before, or still sleeping. In addition, there were over a dozen different
languages from outside Israel being spoken intelligibly by these new Christians
who were all Galileans. Therefore, they would not know these languages. It was
miraculous!
Some will try to explain away the works of God in your life
instead of acknowledging the acts of the Almighty. If you prayed to God, and a
friend was healed, a marriage was restored, or someone’s life was
supernaturally changed, some will mock. They may blow off your credit to God by
rationalizing or using science. After all, what is more powerful than the human
mind and science? But don’t give in. Instead, “Know this first of all, that in
the last days mockers will come with their mocking, following after their own
lusts” (2 Peter 3:3).
Expect to be mocked as these Christians were. Don’t fall for the
false narrative when a true miracle has occurred. Remember, God can and will
use the professionals, the doctors, and the scientists to perform His miracles.
He will also do mighty deeds that are beyond science or logic. Expect Him to do
miracles in your life today!
