Hello again sisters!
Our Lord's mercies are new every day! Let us put all our hope in Him! I hope you're striving on in the kingdom today!
Sharing this passage with you today. I was just pondering on it and how God's timing is best as I'm sure that lame man was around when Jesus was as it said he was laid daily at the gate of the temple and that we know he was lame from birth and he has over 40 years old when he was healed so that's interesting. Reminds me of the blind man who they asked Jesus whether he had sinned or his parents that he was born blind but it was so the glory of God should be shown. Helps us not doubt and worry about situations too doesn't it. Always something to glean from all parts of His word!
Now Peter and John went up together into the temple at the hour of prayer, being the ninth hour.
And a certain man lame from his mother's womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms of them that entered into the temple;
Who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple asked an alms.
And Peter, fastening his eyes upon him with John, said, Look on us.
And he gave heed unto them, expecting to receive something of them.
Then Peter said, 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.
And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up: and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength.
And he leaping up stood, and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God.
And all the people saw him walking and praising God:
And they knew that it was he which sat for alms at the Beautiful gate of the temple: and they were filled with wonder and amazement at that which had happened unto him.
And as the lame man which was healed held Peter and John, all the people ran together unto them in the porch that is called Solomon's, greatly wondering.
And when Peter saw it, he answered unto the people, Ye men of Israel, why marvel ye at this? or why look ye so earnestly on us, as though by our own power or holiness we had made this man to walk?
The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, hath glorified his Son Jesus; whom ye delivered up, and denied him in the presence of Pilate, when he was determined to let him go.
But ye denied the Holy One and the Just, and desired a murderer to be granted unto you;
And killed the Prince of life, whom God hath raised from the dead; whereof we are witnesses.
And his name through faith in his name hath made this man strong, whom ye see and know: yea, the faith which is by him hath given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.
Acts 3:1-16
Quite an amazing account and I would be rejoicing and praising God too! So let us trust that...
And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.Romans 8:28
Let us rest in our God and submit to His will and timing and wait upon Him.
I have had a busy day of work so will leave it here for now. Keep holding fast to the truth sisters as if we compromise it just leads to another and another and we do not want our names blotted out of the book for life. Press on in faith and we have so much in the written Word to guide us. We must love Him first with all we are and be seeking first His kingdom and righteousness. Strive on sisters! My love to you in Christ our Savior.
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen.2 Corinthians 13:14
