“Now Peter and John were going up to the temple at the hour of prayer, the ninth hour. And a man lame from birth was being carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple that is called the Beautiful Gate to ask alms of those entering the temple. Seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple, he asked to receive alms. And Peter directed his gaze at him, as did John, and said, “Look at us.” And he fixed his attention on them, expecting to receive something from them. 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. And leaping up, he stood and began to walk, and entered the temple with them, walking and leaping and praising God.”
Acts 3:1-8 ESV
All,This stands out because Peter says, “I have no silver and gold, but what I do have I give to you.” Where do we look for Joy? Does it come from silver and gold? From high option of others? From a experience? All of those can bring temporary happiness. God knows what we need and what is best for us eternally. He gives us the Fruit of the Spirit (Gal 5:22). Please pray that we look to God for His purpose. Freddy and Phyllis Killgore have been released from the hospital.
