Acts 3:6 - And Peter seeing the (begging lame) man said, "Silver and gold have I none, BUT SUCH AS I HAVE I give unto thee. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk."
You may not have the largest house in your city or even your neighborhood. Perhaps your car is held together by Christian bumper stickers and the description, "struggling to make ends meet", is a vast understatement to describe your financial situation. But irregardless, of what you lack financially all you need is a relationship with the Holy Spirit and an impartation of his power to change lives.
Simon Peter was running short on funds. His paycheck hadn't come through yet via direct deposit and the money he needed hadn't been wired. Meeting a beggar and being moved with compassion he was obviously discouraged that he couldn't help meet the need before him.
As a result, Simon Peter turned to his only option. Silver and gold were out of the question, but he did have the power of God at work in his life. With faith swelling in his heart he commanded the lame man to rise by the authority of Jesus' name and walk! The rest is history.
Acts 3, quickly leads me to hold fast to the truth that money is over-rated. One touch from Jesus as he moves through us to touch others will surpass the fulfillment all the gold in Fort Knox could ever possibly bring to your life.
