Steadfast and Loyal

And a man lame from birth was being carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple that is called the Beautiful Gate to ask alms of those entering the temple. (Acts 3:2)

This is a familiar passage because the lame man was healed in the name of Jesus by Peter. What would have happened if the man had not been there on that day? People would not have come running and not heard the good news about Jesus Christ.

The ones I noticed in today's reading are the ones who carried the man every day to the temple. Without them, we wouldn't have had this miracle. At least two unnamed men took time from their work to carry this guy to the temple. They did it every day, except maybe on the Sabbath. They didn't get a reward, they weren't Uber drivers, no tips. They could have been friends or relatives, it doesn't matter, they were loyal and steadfast.

So, help me Lord to be like these, steadfast in your calling. Doing the daily things I need to do to help others. I don't know what the results will be, but like them, it could be anything from bringing someone to church or posting a blog that someone reads. Maybe it results in a miracle.

Most helping hands are in the background and are supporting miracles. #helpers #steadfast #loyal #helpinghands #miracles #lameman
