Day 72 — Lystra: Healing and Worship (Acts 14:8-13) | July 6

In Lystra, there was no synagogue. No community familiar with the Hebrew Scriptures. Just a pagan Roman colony where Zeus and Hermes were the local patron gods. Paul started preaching to whoever would listen, and a man lame from birth was paying close attention. Paul looked straight at him, saw faith forming in real time, and commanded him to stand. The man jumped up and walked. And then the crowd lost its mind. They started shouting in Lycaonian, a language Paul and Barnabas couldn't understand, declaring the missionaries were gods in human form. The priest of Zeus brought bulls draped in garlands to the city gates, ready to sacrifice. The crowd saw the power and jumped to the wrong conclusion. The human heart will always find something to worship. The question is whether it picks the right thing.
