There is something powerful about the presence of God in the shadow of man. Look with me at Acts 5:15, “As a result, people brought the sick into the streets and laid them on beds and mats so that at least Peter's shadow might fall on some of them as he passed by.”
As I speak, there is so much heartache, suffering and weariness alive and well within a two mile radius of our church not to mention, in the midst of our own church families and friends! Those who hurt are waiting for someone to pass their way and cast a shadow of right living upon them. God was in Peter’s shadow because God was in Peter! Can the same be said of you?
The downtrodden, the oppressed, the sad, the lonely, the discouraged and the needy are all looking to us and they are expecting to be touched by God through our silhouette! Church, if we are going to take on the name of Jesus, then we ought to take on the nature of Jesus as well.
Let us all decide today to cast a Godly shadow.
