Act 2:16 But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel:
Interpretation:
Peter goes on to explain what is happening, to the people that thought the disciples were drunk. He used scripture to defend himself and the others, which reminds me of someone else... Jesus! When Jesus was in the wilderness and satan was tempting Him, everything that satan tempted Him with, Jesus came back with scripture! The thing about scripture is first of all you have to know it to use it! SO if you don't know it well enough to use it you need to make a point to study it personally. And secondly as you can see with Jesus and satan, when Jesus used the WORD of GOD satan couldn't say or do anything. It is kind of a trump card if you use it in the right context, and the right situation, for the right reason!!! Do all things in love and not a spirit of "I am going to prove you wrong"
Application:
I want to make a point first of all to study more, and to use the Word against temptations and also to use the Word more in my everyday life to encourage and teach others about Jesus and how Good He is! So I pray for a pure heart and the boldness to share the Word with people in what ever situation with a sincere motive and love.
