Wednesday, November 12 – Acts 19:21-27

After Paul was in Ephesus for 2 years (Acts 19:10), Paul felt the urging of the Spirit to move on to the next place. Acts 19:26 reinforces what we could already tell from the rest of Acts 19; Paul had a major impact on Ephesus. Paul’s work of leading the church in Ephesus led to a financial deficit for those who made idols. Our story tells of one of those silversmiths trying to lead an uprising against Paul and the church because of the damage they had done to his business and others like it. They truly made a difference in their community.


This is the type of disruption we can make in our community as well. When we work at something regularly, we can cause lasting change. We can be a thorn in the side of less reputable business owners who take advantage of people. We can hurt the bottom line of people earning money through dishonorable means. We can show people the truth concerning the place in which we live. But we can only do this type of good if we are committed to the work and keep at it. Paul made a difference in Ephesus; we can make a difference together in Gonzales.
