Information from weekly prayer meetings:
Acts 3: Healing of the crippled beggar by Peter and John; Peter’s speech to the crowd
It would have been easy for Peter and John to give the beggar a few coins and go on about their day. Instead they meet this man’s needs physically and spiritually. God then used this healing to let Peter share about Jesus with the crowd.
Do we seek to meet the deeper needs of those around us or are we just meeting the superficial needs?
How does this change our attitude towards poverty and other world issues that have their roots in deeper issues?
Pray that God would give you the eyes to see deeper into problems and meet the underlying needs of those around you and those around the world.
