What do you have?

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. Acts 3:1-7 ESV

When faced with a seemingly impossible need, Peter responded with, “What I do have, I give to you.” Peter’s secret weapon was in knowing what he had. He had the authority to do business in the Name of Jesus.

I just want to encourage you this morning to get to church, get filled up on the word of God, and get refreshed by the Spirit of God and the fellowship of the saints. Find out what (or Who) you have. Face the new week undaunted by need or circumstance. Use what you do have. He is more than enough.
