Today’s Scripture: Acts 3:15 ESV: And his name — by faith in his name — has made this man strong whom you see and know, and the faith that is through Jesus has given the man this perfect health in the presence of you all.
The story of the lame man at the gate called Beautiful in Acts 3 shows the power of faith in Jesus. Peter and John did not have money, but they offered to give to him what they did have. What did they have? They had faith in Jesus.
Interesting isn’t it that it was NOT the faith of the man healed but the faith of Peter and John that immediately strengthened his feet and ankles. They had this faith and offered it to this man. He was so thankful for their gift of faith that he entered the temple with them; walking, leaping and praising God.
Faith in Jesus is just as powerful today. If we give the faith, we have then others too may leap for joy. Faith in Jesus is our strength and strength for those placed in our path today. Will we give our faith to others today?
Today’s Prayer: Jesus You are my strength. Faith in You is power and strength. Your strength Jesus will heal my lameness and the lameness of others as I offer Your faith. LORD You are all I have to offer. Your strength and power are amazing and life changing. Like the former lame man, I too leap for joy and praise You. Strengthen my faith LORD and help me to give it away. Amen
