Devotional Thoughts about Acts 9:36-42

The story of Tabitha is contained in just a little blurb at the end of the chapter about Saul’s conversion and preceding Peter’s amazing experience and realization of the breadth of God’s love for people other than Jews.

This story isn’t about apostles, although Peter plays a role in this story. The focus is on the life of an ordinary Christian woman. Her death brought a group of mourning widows together, and when Peter arrived, he was in for a show-and-tell session. Each woman showed him garments Tabitha had made and given to meet her family's needs.

Tabitha's help for these marginalized women had already shown them God’s love. Those among them who hadn’t yet believed on Jesus were surely among the many in Joppa who were saved after the miracle.

Lord, please make me ready to help people because I love You, even if nobody else finds out about it.
