Acts 8:24
Then Simon answered, “Pray to the Lord for me so that nothing you have said may happen to me.”
Reflection
How did Simon respond to Peter’s rebuke after Simon had tried to buy with money the power of imparting the Holy Spirit? Simon followed the direction of Peter and he repented of his wrong thinking and misunderstanding. He even asks Peter and John to pray for him so that he will not fall victim to the results of his wrong choices up to that point. What we can see here is that Simon was willing to take correction and receive new direction so that he could continue to grow in the Lord.
Have you seen new Christians respond with a humble heart and repent of sin or incorrect ideas concerning the faith? When we truly repent it is always a sign of a humble heart.
