Take Action, Day 3

Get up first. Read Acts chapter 3.

We see Peter and John meeting a crippled man outside the Temple. Peter makes the statement to him that he’s not going to give him money, but he’s going to help him understand who Jesus is. Then he takes his hand and starts to pull him up, telling him to rise up and walk. It doesn’t say that the man’s ankles are healed while he’s laying there. It says that they are healed as he’s getting up.

There had to be action taken. The man had to believe and have faith in Peter and in the God that Peter spoke of that could heal him. He had to have so much faith that he was willing to try getting up. That was when his ankles were healed.

We can know that God will heal us and do amazing things in our lives but we have to actively be pursuing obedience to Christ. As we are being obedient, God will move mountains and make miracles work in our lives. We can trust him to be doing what he needs to be done to bring about the purpose in our lives. Are we trusting God and taking action today?
