Tuesday, May 17th - Acts 3:1-16

Good Afternoon!

What a beautiful afternoon!  I just got home from work and really want to go do something, but can't decide and so I thought I would spend some time with the Lord and with y'all! 

         ♫♪♫♪Peter and John went to pray; they met a lame man on their way; ♫♪♫♪
♫♪♫♪ He stuck out his palm and asked for an alm and this is what Peter did say: ♫♪♫♪
           ♫♪♫♪ Silver and gold have I none, but such as I have give I thee! ♫♪♫♪
          ♫♪♫♪ In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk! ♫♪♫♪
                   He went walking and leaping and praising God;
                         Walking and leaping and praising God!
♫♪♫♪ In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk! ♫♪♫♪

This story in our Scripture passage today is what inspired the song above that I sang growing up in Sunday School and at camp!  There were motions and dancing and it was so much fun! 

Can you imagine how that beggar felt that day?  Here he had asked for a handout and ended up with a foot up!  :o)  It says that he went with Peter and John to the temple and was walking and jumping and praising God.  Those that saw him were filled with wonder and amazement.  Wow!  Then Peter began to speak. "....you killed the author of life, but God raised Him from the dead.  We are witnesses of this.  By faith in the name of Jesus this man whom you see and know was made strong.....complete healing to him as you can all see." 

The name of Jesus!  It is powerful!  Faith in the name of Jesus provides complete healing!  And think, we can approach His Throne with confidence and call on the name of Jesus for help, for strength, for guidance, for wisdom, for love and so much more!

Have a great evening!  Love y'all!
