Reading: Acts 3, Job 41-42, and Genesis 11
Scripture: Acts 3:6-7, 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!” And he took him by the right hand and raised him
up, and immediately his feet and ankles were made strong.
Observation: I know I have thought that I can’t help them or
I can’t do this or that in my walk so many times. I almost always pass by
people asking for help. I struggle with stepping out and sharing what I do have
in Christ Jesus. Each of us are given the gifts and blessings of God though the
death of Jesus on the cross. I know that growing us I didn’t think healings and
some of the other things that Jesus and the apostles did were still happening
in the world today being that I had never seen them. I was the type of person
like Thomas who would not believe in something until I saw it with my own eyes,
so how could I do anything.
Application: I need to remember that God gave me gifts and
training to DO for the glory of God. I am struggling with what some of those
gifts are meant for and where I am called to serve and give back to the glory
of God. I am so blessed with a wonderful family and church family. But it is far
to easy to sit back and wait for something to happen then it is to step out.
Especially when you don’t know the direction to step. I want to go where I can
best serve God but I also feel like I don’t know how and I’m insecure about
what I am doing. Do for God where you are.
Prayer: Lord, I thank you for your great mercy and grace, I would
be nowhere without you and I thank you for the love you pour out on us even
though we don’t deserve it. Lord, help me to see my strengths and what I’m to
do. I long to learn more and share what I have learned with others. Help me to
see and take the opportunities that are before me.
