Awake in Faith: Lessons from the Boy Who Fell Asleep
Explore faith, attentiveness, and God's purpose through the story of the boy asleep during Paul’s sermon, growing in love and understanding daily.
📖 Introduction
The story of the boy who fell asleep during Paul’s sermon in Acts 20:7-12 offers more than a historical anecdote — it invites us to explore deep spiritual lessons about attentiveness, faith, and God’s providence even in moments of seeming distraction or weakness.
As we dive into this 7-day study, we will reflect on how God works in unexpected ways through us and around us, even when we may feel spiritually 'asleep' or distracted. Paul’s ministry was powerful and life-changing, yet the boy’s falling asleep reminds us that all of us have moments of weariness. It encourages us to grow in attentiveness to the Word of God and openness to His work in our lives.
Throughout the week, you will be invited to consider how God's presence can awaken your heart, to listen closely to His voice, and to participate with faith and courage in His purposes. This study will also help you see compassion for others and trust in God's timing, even when circumstances seem stale or dull.
Join this journey of reflection, prayer, and inspiration as we explore God's Word together through a story that resonates on a very human level, showing us that God's grace can awaken and restore us, just like the boy who was refreshed and revived through Paul's care.
