Affirmation of God: I give what I have.

Today’s Scripture: But Peter said, “I have no silver and gold, but what I do have I give to you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk!” Acts 3:6 ESV 

Someone needs what we have to give; right now, not at some future date. We have a tendency to think that some day we will get to a place where we can give. Peter shows us here in Acts 3 to give what we have now. 

What do we have? What God has given us through Jesus. We have grace, we have love, and we have all of His riches because He has given them to us. Let’s give them away today. 

Peter “directed his gaze” at the lame man. Are we looking for those who need what we have? The lame man fixed his attention on Peter and John “expecting to receive something from them”. What are we expected to give by those in need and by God? 

Peter took him by the hand and raised him up. I know we have someone we can take by the hand and raise up to praise God as well. God has sent us and given us what we need to be a blessing to others. 

Be on the lookout as someone needs what you have! Does someone come to your mind right now? 

Today’s Prayer: Father God, thank You for Your gift of Jesus to us. Thank You for Your mercy, grace, love, wisdom, power and strength. You have given us more than these and we have all of Your gifts to give away. LORD, help me to give Your praise and what I have to give. All to Your glory. Amen
