What happens when ordinary people spend time with an extraordinary God? Acts 4:13 reveals how the religious leaders were amazed by the boldness of Peter and John—not because they were exceptional, but because "they had been with Jesus." This profound truth forms the foundation of today's spiritual exploration.

In our current cultural moment, many believers struggle with showing boldness. We hesitate to speak truth, stand firm, or live counter-culturally. But this devotional unpacks the revolutionary insight that true spiritual courage isn't a personality trait—it's the natural fruit of authentic communion with Christ. When we've been with Jesus, we walk differently, speak differently, and love differently.

The message challenges our misconceptions about boldness. It's not about being loud, educated, or naturally confident. Instead, it flows naturally from spending time in God's presence. This distinction transforms how we approach our spiritual lives. Rather than trying to manufacture courage through our own efforts, we recognize that boldness emerges when we prioritize being with Him.

For those feeling pressure to stay silent or blend in, this episode offers a refreshing reminder that walking worthy means "refusing to shrink back, not from fear of rejection, not because of cancel culture, and not because we want to keep the peace at the cost of truth." The invitation is clear: stop waiting for the perfect moment, say what needs to be said, and live like it matters—all because you've been with Jesus. Join us as we discover how spending time with Christ naturally produces the holy courage our world desperately needs.

00:00:02.564 --> 00:00:07.413
Welcome to Wisdom for the Day, your daily source for spiritual refreshment and guidance.

00:00:07.413 --> 00:00:08.734
I'm Rick.

00:00:08.734 --> 00:00:13.651
Join me as I dive into God's Word to find clarity and strength for life's challenges.

00:00:13.651 --> 00:00:19.466
Let me help you embrace each day with faith and wisdom, ready to feel inspired.

00:00:19.466 --> 00:00:21.065
Let's get started.

00:00:21.065 --> 00:00:26.946
Today is Day 129, walk in Boldness.

00:00:26.946 --> 00:00:30.452
From the book of Acts, chapter 4, verse 13,.

00:00:30.452 --> 00:00:32.545
From the New Living Translation.

00:00:33.939 --> 00:00:37.228
We live in a time when staying quiet feels safer.

00:00:37.228 --> 00:00:40.667
Boldness that feels like a risk.

00:00:40.667 --> 00:00:47.881
But in the early church boldness wasn't a personality trait, it was a product of being with Jesus.

00:00:47.881 --> 00:00:58.350
Acts, chapter 4, verse 13, says the members of the council were amazed when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, for they could see that they were ordinary men.

00:00:58.350 --> 00:01:02.185
They also recognized them as men who had been with Jesus.

00:01:02.185 --> 00:01:04.992
That's the key, right there.

00:01:05.939 --> 00:01:07.727
Boldness doesn't come from being loud.

00:01:07.727 --> 00:01:11.069
It doesn't come from being educated or naturally confident.

00:01:11.069 --> 00:01:13.167
It comes from being with Him.

00:01:13.167 --> 00:01:16.287
You walk different when you've been with Jesus.

00:01:16.287 --> 00:01:19.269
You speak truth even when it's unpopular.

00:01:19.269 --> 00:01:23.350
You love people fiercely even when they don't get it.

00:01:23.350 --> 00:01:26.888
You stand firm even when the ground around you shakes.

00:01:28.319 --> 00:01:41.790
Walking worthy in this generation means refusing to shrink back, not from fear of rejection, not because of cancel culture, and not because we want to keep the peace at the cost of truth.

00:01:41.790 --> 00:01:49.102
It means knowing who sent you and walking in that authority with humility and fire.

00:01:49.102 --> 00:01:56.174
Let today be the day that you stop waiting for the perfect moment.

00:01:56.174 --> 00:02:00.385
Say what needs to be said, live like it matters.

00:02:00.385 --> 00:02:05.231
Walk in boldness because you've been with Jesus.

00:02:05.231 --> 00:02:09.260
Pray with me, father.

00:02:09.260 --> 00:02:15.213
God, give me boldness today, not arrogance, not pride, but holy courage.

00:02:15.213 --> 00:02:25.064
Let the time I spend with you overflow into every conversation and every step I make In Jesus' precious name, amen.

00:02:25.064 --> 00:02:31.193
