Acts 16:11-15; Psalm 149; John 15:26-16:4

Come and stay in my home

In Acts today we meet Lydia, a business woman who traded in purple cloth, an expensive commodity at that time. In spite of her busy commercial life, she met regularly with other women for prayer. With open mind and heart, she responded to the teaching of Paul and was baptised. She then persuaded Paul to accept her invitation to stay in her house. How willing am I to let my home be a gathering place for prayer?
