And when they heard that, they lifted up their voice to God with one accord, and said, Lord, thou art God, which hast made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all that in them is:
When they heard this, they all came together and prayed out loud to God as one voice: 'Lord, you are the God who made heaven and earth, the sea, and everything in them.'
Sometimes the best response to hard news is coming together and remembering who's really in charge.
📚 Historical Context
In the Book of Acts, which records the early expansion of the Christian church after Jesus' resurrection, Peter and John had been arrested by Jewish religious leaders for preaching about Jesus and performing a miracle. After their release with a warning not to teach in Jesus' name, they returned to the gathered believers who responded by praying together in unity. This prayer specifically echoes the creation account from Genesis, affirming God's power as the Creator of all things amid growing persecution.
