Student Devotion Week 6: Silver or Gold I Do Not Have: Healing of the Beautiful Beggar

Key Verse: Hebrews 10:24-25, "And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another-and all the more as you see the Day approaching."

You've seen the signs: Caution! Men at Work. Speeding Fines Double When Workers Present. Orange signs, cones, and barricades-these are the everyday things that let us know what's ahead.

Did you know God is always working? There are no flares or flashing lights that call us to look. We have to be sensitive to the opportunities around us. We have to sense God's Spirit moving in us. We have to learn to be aware, to be alive to the possibilities.

Peter and John sensed an opportunity one afternoon while they were on their way to pray. They saw a man who needed new legs. They saw a man who needed a handout to get his meal for the day. But they saw something more. They saw a man who needed Jesus. They knew from their own experience that if they could introduce this beggar to Christ, then he'd have all he really needed.

This week we're going to be challenged to see where God is at work and join God.
