Act 3:6-8 “Then Peter said, “Silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk.” 7 And he took him by the right hand and lifted him up, and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength. 8 So he, leaping up, stood and walked and entered the temple with them—walking, leaping, and praising God.
Look for ways to be an answer to a person’s prayers today. Be the solution, and not the problem. I realize we cannot always give people what it is that they are asking for because we may not have it to give, but what do you have to offer? These men of God had no money, but they had a prayer connection to the kingdom of God that would forever change this man’s life, and God gave him his ability to walk. If he could now walk he now could work, and never have to ask anyone to feel sorry for him; no longer would he be at a disadvantage because he could now take care of his own needs, and wants. He was empowered that day to never be the same again. That is a powerful thing that silver and gold cannot do for you.
Challenge: Say a prayer today for someone; this maybe the solution they needed from you. Look at different ways to help a person instead of just saying no. Pray and ask God what He would have you to do for them. It is the King that will give us the green light or the red to move forward. A simple prayer will always work for sure.
