NO NEEDY PERSONS
Today’s Scripture: Acts 4:32-37
Today’s Verse: “There were no needy persons among them. For from time to time those who owned lands or houses sold them, brought the money from the sales and put it at the apostles' feet, and it was distributed to anyone as he had need.“ – Acts 4:34-35 (NIV)
Joey couldn’t believe his eyes. “This room . . . is so small!” Even worse, he would have to share his freshman year dorm room with two other people. Just an hour earlier, Joey had helped his buddy Ross move his spacious single room down the hall. Joey could still hear Ross’ high-end stereo system; Ross was playing the music extra loud just to gloat in his better room.
A month into the school year, Joey and Ross got together for lunch. Ross started in immediately with the ribbing: “How do you like your closet, I mean dorm room, Joey?”
Joey just smiled. “It’s been great. Since all of the rooms on our hall are so small, everyone hangs out in the common area. We share everything – CD’s, snacks, and especially advice. Just last week, I was running late for my midterm and my bike had a flat tire, but my next-door neighbor loaned me her bike for the day. So what if I have a small room; I’m not lacking anything else.”
