Acts 3:6 - Knowing the Will of God.

Acts 3:6 (NIV) Then Peter said, "Silver or 
gold I do not have, but what I have I give you. 
In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, 
walk." 

COMMENTARY PEARL

   I've heard people say that God often 
guides by what he provides. Not only is this true, 
but the rhyme makes it fun to say out loud. But 
even though God often does open doors of 
provision to show us the way to go, this isn't the 
only way God guides. 
   I'd argue that God occasionally will also 
guide by what he withholds. Perhaps there are 
seasons when God won't allow us to have what we 
think we need so we can see his provision or 
direction in an unexpected way, just as when the 
crippled man at the gate asked Peter for some money 
and Peter responded with something else. And at 
Peter's word, the man was miraculously healed. If 
Peter had had what the man wanted, he might not 
have given the man what he needed. 
   You might experience something similar in 
your life. Although you may be convinced with all 
your heart that you need something from God now, 
he may withhold it from you. His plan isn't to 
torture you, discourage you, or insult you. He may 
simply be loving you in a way you didn't expect. 
Instead of giving you what you want, God may show 
you what you really need... [Daily Power by
