There was a born lame man who was taken to the front of the temple every day to beg for money. He depended on other people to survive either to move or to be fed. The Lord Jesus Christ doesn`t want you to depend on others to have your daily bread, but He provides you with strength and open doors of jobs for you to work and make your own living. We have to understand that He is our strength and you have just to think about today, tomorrow belongs just to Him

Everyday God will provide me and you with our needs. We don`t have to be concerned about our daily bread because He already prepared our abundance, believe, and be confident So, Peter and John passed by the way to get to the temple. When they got close to it, the lame beggar asked for some alms in order to receive some changes, clothes, shoes, or food.

“And Peter, fastening his eyes upon him with John, said, Look on us”, Acts 3:4. Imagine, at that moment the lame man looked at them and thought: “Oh, today my dinner is granted” or “Oh, they will give me changes”, but he never thought he would be given something that would change his life completely forever So many times, we pass by people in need, we just look at them, or we give them a coin or we pretend they don`t exist, and Jesus Christ`s love, which is the most important of all, we keep it for ourselves, we don`t share it with anyone. But Peter, sincere and loyal to God answered: “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”, Acts 3:6. Peter, wasn`t afraid of saying the Word of cure in the life of that lame man, and that lame man didn`t doubt our Lord Jesus Christ was able to perform, he just followed the order of that Apostle, “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.”, Acts 3:7 e 8. God surprises us every moment, so he released the miracle to that lame man, He wants to do the same in my life and in your life, my brother. To us, the problem may be big, but to God, the Almighty, that situation is small and we have just to believe and He will release on Word and everything will be solved Believe that you have already achieved your urgent miracle because as a man and a woman have to play the role of a human being, which is to believe and God will perform His, which is to make everything that was impossible come true. That lame man jumped at that moment and glorified in the temple and that`s what God wants, my dear. We have to jump out from that difficulty, that injury, that addiction, that defeat, sadness, and so many other things that keep us away from the Lord. He is the Lord God to perform that urgent miracle. He is the One who makes our dreams come true At the moment He was given his cure, that man went to God`s house to thank for his miracle and we have to do the same, we have to thank the Lord at His house and keep ourselves on His path forever We have to value what we have and always remember who we were and from where Jesus Christ rescued us for the world to see the miracle in your life and in my life as well, like the moment when the lame man got into the temple jumping and glorifying everyone could see the miracle that happened in his life and they have to see in our life too. Everything that happens in our lives is for the honor and glory of the Lord!
