Acts 3:6, NIV
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, NIV Peter and John saw a beggar who was asking for money. They looked at him, and Peter said he didn’t have silver or gold, but He had Jesus in Him whom He could share with the beggar. You see, there are times when we feel insufficient because of the wants and needs of the people around us. We feel like we don’t have what they are looking for, but the truth is, we can always share Jesus with them. Just…

Day 477 – John 1: 46
“Nazareth! Can anything good come from there?” Nathanael asked. “Come and see,” said Philip. John 1: 46, NIV Philip extended the good news to Nathanael and told Him that the One Moses wrote about was here, Jesus from Nazareth. And Nathanael wondered if this was true.

Day 370 – Luke 2:51
Then He went down to Nazareth with them and was obedient to them. But His mother treasured all these things in her heart. Luke 2: 51, NIV This event happened when Jesus was still 12 years old. He decided to stay in Jerusalem and be in the house of God. Mary and Joseph looked for Him for 3 days. They found the young Jesus at the temple, and then He went down to Nazareth and chose to obey his earthly family. The remarkable part of this verse is that Mary treasured these ordinary days with Jesus. She chose to take delight in Him while growing up. Maybe she doesn’t have…
