Peter sent them all out of the room; then he got down on his knees and prayed. Turning toward the dead woman, he said, "Tabitha, get up." She opened her eyes, and seeing Peter she sat up. He took her by the hand and helped her to her feet. Then he called the believers and the widows and presented her to them alive. This became known all over Joppa, and many people believed in the Lord.
It continues to amaze me that God uses Peter in miraculous ways. While I read this, I thought, "Wow, isn't this the same Peter who walked on water, but sank? What a difference God's made in his heart. He is changed." Peter just believed. He prayed, and believed. He rose the dead! Jesus rose the dead at the prayer of a man. Do I have faith that God will do that?
