Running with Jesus

Acts 3:6 Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have given it thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk.

     This is the story of a lame man. It was customary for them to sit near the entrance to the temple because the Jews believed it noble to give them a love gift.  We know the religious wanted to be seen by all in a good light. On this day the lame man ask for what he thought was his need, money.  He had no job and was probably treated as an outcast cursed by God for some sin.  God would show up and give him what he needed, to walk!

     We get our wants and needs mixed up and we go to God making request and we get a strange answer and we begin the question of why’s..Oh you have been here too!  Later down the road we discover God is greater, wiser and smarter than man.  God being all-knowing knows what our greatest needs are and we have to lie those why’s down at the cross and leave them there.  Life is about us getting to know God better every day.  Every day we have to learn to trust Him more and more with our lives.

     What is it that you ask Him to do today?  Is it a need or a want?  Don’t be surprised if it comes in a different package than you want. Do remember that God knows exactly what we need?

Father, another day on earth and another opportunity to trust You to meet our every need.  We want to thank You in advance for all the things that come our way that You are going to work for good in my life.  You are my sure foundation and stronghold.  You are the light, the way and truth and we want to run through life with You.  We give You all praise and glory. There is none like You, God.  I chose to trust You with my wants and my needs.

Tomorrow: Looking for opportunities, so be sure to come back!
