This week Trent Lewis spoke on the story of Peter and John healing a beggar who could not walk. The story is found in Acts 3. In the story this beggar is always asking for money as people enter into the temple area, but he is ashamed as he asks for money. Peter and John have compassion on this man and take the time to actually look him in the eyes. After they do this they heal the man and help him to walk. The man rejoices and praises God. In our lives we often think that God can only do small things like help our aunt's friend's cat. Instead of just praying for these small things, we need to expect God to do big things. We need to expect God to change our lives when we pray. We should pray for God to make us better Christians. For each of us that will mean praying for him to change us in different ways depending on what things we need to work on to be better Christians, but this is something that we all need to be praying for.Share
