MONTHLY DEVOTIONAL

The Power of Being Right - All Right

“Then Peter said, ‘Silver or gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk.’” Acts 3:6

The Kairos Moment:
There are times in God’s work when everything seems to come together. Because we, human beings, cannot plan every detail and implement it.  However, God has a Kairos moment. Acts 3 and 4 give us such a moment. A man who had been lame from birth was carried every day to the temple gate to beg for money. Peter and John were also going to the temple at the appointed hour of prayer. What looked like an ordinary day became a divine appointment. I would like to reflect on this story in five rights for the purpose of our monthly devotion.
