Acts 26:20
“But shewed… that they should repent and turn to God, and do works meet for repentance.”

True repentance always moves the feet. Paul makes it clear: repentance is not merely emotional regret—it is visible transformation. To repent is to turn, and turning changes direction. Anything less is not repentance at all.

Repentance that does not affect behavior is incomplete. Grace forgives, but it also reforms. God never calls us to feel bad without calling us to live differently. Revival is proven not by tears at the altar, but by obedience after leaving it.

“Works meet for repentance” means actions that match confession. Forgiveness sought must be forgiveness pursued. Sin confessed must be sin forsaken. Apologies must be followed by integrity. Repentance always bears fruit.

This does not mean perfection—it means sincerity. God honors honest turning, even when it is slow and costly. He supplies strength where obedience feels heavy.

Midweek is a fitting time to examine direction. Are your steps aligned with your prayers? Does your lifestyle reflect your confession? Repentance that changes steps brings freedom, not bondage.

Today, take one concrete step that proves repentance is real. God honors obedience—and revival walks forward, not backward.
