David Henry Thoreau
Acts 3:3-5 (NASB95)
When he saw Peter and John about to go into the temple, he began asking to receive alms. But Peter, along with John, fixed his gaze on him and said, “Look at us!” And he began to give them his attention, expecting to receive something from them.
In this passage is a great secret that many Christians need to grasp and hold on to today. Here we see the man lame from birth, 40 years old who sat at the gate begging for his livelihood. We do need to see the attitude that he had as he sat at the feet of those that walked by.
His attitude when he saw Peter and John was one of expectation. He believed that he was going to receive something from them, he had a spirit of expectation. He was at a place of prayer and worship, was there a better place to seek mercy than at the meeting place of God’s people?
So I ask the question of us all today. What do you expect to happen in your place of worship this Sunday? Do you expect a wonderful life changing experience, or are you just going to meet your friends again and sing a few songs? God Bless
Pastor William
