Scripture Verse that Caught My Attention Today: Acts 3:6 But Peter said, “I have no silver or gold, but what I have I give you; in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, stand up and walk.”
Observation: Peter offers a great irony—he does not have want is wanted but does, through Christ, have what is needed which is, in reality, far greater.
Application: It’s easy to underestimate what we ‘have’ through Christ. Through him we have (or can have) a presence/persona that is not utterly fazed by the challenges we encounter in life. We may not have what the ‘world’ desires/expects, but we actually have something far more valuable.
Please note that I’m not suggesting the we all (or any of us) necessarily have the power to tell some who is lame to get up and walk. But we can offer the type of presence that bears witness to a power far greater than ourselves—one which offers a glimpse of wholeness in the form of broken people coming to life again.
Prayer: Lord, enable us to let your own Spirit move in us in such a way that it can be seen through us. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
(Readings today included: Exodus 17-20 and Acts 3)
