Digest

Answer from what the passage actually says — stay in the text.

  1. What does this passage show me about God?

    • What does Peter give the lame man, and to whom does he give the credit for the healing?
  2. What does it show me about people — and about myself?

    • Peter says, 'What I do have I give you.' What has Jesus given you that money cannot buy?
  3. What will I obey this week? (a concrete step, with a day)

    • Who sits at your own 'gate' — someone you pass all the time — that you will stop for this week?
  4. Who will I tell?

    • When people ask what happened in your life, how could you, like Peter, point away from yourself and toward Jesus?

Grow

Growth is God's part, not yours. Do the cycle faithfully and trust Him to give the growth (1 Corinthians 3:6–7).

Pray

God, Peter had no silver or gold, but he had the name of Jesus. Thank you that what you have given me is enough to give away.
