In Acts chapter 3, we encounter a powerful story that challenges everything we think we know about our needs and God's provision. The narrative invites us to examine our own lives: How often do we approach God with a list of what we think we need, only to miss what He actually wants to give us? We want better circumstances; God wants to transform us entirely. The story also confronts us with an uncomfortable truth—wonder and amazement at God's power aren't the same as surrender. We can admire Jesus, be impressed by miracles, and still remain spectators rather than followers. Peter's sermon cuts through the crowd's astonishment with a call to repentance, reminding us that God doesn't want our applause; He wants our obedience. The question isn't whether we believe God can change things—it's whether we trust His timing and are willing to let Him change us in ways we never anticipated.
