Scripture
Then Peter said, ‘‘Silver or gold I do not have, but what I have I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk Acts 3:6
Observation
Peter probably had some silver and possibly even gold...But this crippled man had already been through this. He already had received silver and maybe some gold, but he was still lame. He was laid daily at the gate of the temple. And I read into this that this man was laid there everyday since he was a child.
What an interesting response Peter gave this man….but what I have I give you.
Application
The question becomes…what do I have and am I willing to give it?
Peter had something...he had something far more powerful than money. And when I gave my heart to Jesus, I got a dose of what Peter had to offer this crippled man.
What does God want me to offer to the “lame” people in my world? I see three things: compassion, faith and Jesus.
Prayer
Lord, they are everywhere. They become so much a part of my world that if I am not careful, I won’t even notice them. Please open my eyes to see these people who will be forever changed if I will just offer them what I have.
