Faith Ain't Just Sunday Talk

Scripture: Acts 3:6-7 - "But Peter said, 'I do not possess silver and gold, but what I do have I give to you: In the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene—walk!' And seizing him by the right hand, he raised him up."

Cowboy Wisdom:
When a bronc buster tells you to climb on a wild horse, that's when faith stops being theory and becomes action. You can talk all day about trusting the process, but eventually you've got to put your boot in the stirrup and swing your leg over.

Imagine what ran through that beggar's mind. He'd asked for pocket change and was offered a completely new life. Peter didn't just speak words - he grabbed the man's hand and helped him up. But here's the key: the beggar had to put weight on those legs. He had to try.

Every day of his adult life, those legs had been useless. Rain or shine, he'd been carried to that spot. He'd never felt strength in his thighs, never known what it was like to stand. But he believed Peter's words, and he acted on that belief. That's when the miracle happened.

Questions for Reflection:

1. Where is God asking you to "put weight on your legs" - to act in faith even when it seems impossible?
2. What past disappointments keep you from taking risks of faith?
3. How can you move from just talking about faith to actually living it out this week?

Prayer Focus:
​Ask God to give you courage to act on your faith. Pray for opportunities to trust Him in practical, tangible ways. Thank Him that He doesn't ask you to do it alone - He takes your hand and helps you up.
