June 5 (Friday) -- "What I have I give unto you" -- better than silver or gold



One…two…the plague comes for the counted: 2 Samuel 23:24-24:25

Good thing Peter didn’t have any silver or gold to give to the beggar: Acts 3:1-26

Look to the Lord with eyes like that of a slave to his master: Psalm 123:1-4

A wise man’s heart guides his mouth: Proverbs 16:21-23

Yesterday’s reading had the Holy Spirit using the disciples to witness to non-believers through the miracle of speaking in languages they were not trained to speak. Then the same Holy Spirit gave Peter the words to boldly explain to the witnesses how it related to Jesus dying on the cross for the sins, causing thousands to be saved!

Today’s reading in Acts might seem anticlimactic compared to yesterday’s. What is the healing of one lame beggar compared to the saving of thousands from Hell? I’ll tell you what it is. It’s everything. Every individual that’s ever existed means a lot to the Lord.

If you make a habit of praying for the Holy Spirit to use you in whatever way He sees fit, don’t be surprised if He uses you in a miraculous way, but on one individual at a time.
