- Read Acts 8: 9-25
Reflect on the following questions:
- How are the people in Samaria benefiting from the persecution in Jerusalem?
- What had Simon misunderstood in this story?
Simon asks for prayer to avoid the consequences Peter spoke of, but not to repent of his wickedness and turn to the Lord.
- Have there been times when you wanted to be spared of the consequences but have not turned to the Lord?
- Pray and ask the Holy Spirit to show you your heart, ask to see places that are not ‘right before God’.
