May 28, 2020 - WALKING AND LEAPING AND PRAISING GOD

Day 149 - (Today’s Bible readings: Jeremiah 5:14-31; Psalm 119:145-152; Acts 2:42-3:10)

WALKING AND LEAPING AND PRAISING GOD

 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. And leaping up he stood and began to walk, and entered the temple with them, walking and leaping and praising God. (Acts  3:6-8 ESV)

Can you imagine never being able to walk for your entire life? Then Peter and John appear. You ask for some money, and Peter is used by the Lord to give you something you thought could never be. The lame man’s response is not surprising.... walking and leaping and praising God. 

You and I were born lame too. We were not able walk with the Lord. But Jesus came to us with His forgiveness, presence and promise of heaven.

Thank You, Lord Jesus, for granting me spiritual healing and strength by means of Your death on the cross. May I spend the rest of my life walking and leaping and praising You, o blessed Trinity.  Amen.
