Act on It!

"In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead." -James 2:17 (NIV)

Like many people, I have a list of things that I need and want to do.  The list can be helpful for setting priorities and guiding actions.  However, just because something is on the list and I have intentions of completing it, if I don't get to it, then it doesn't matter that it was "on the list."  The way we live our lives and act on our spirituality is much the same way!

We can and should have faith in God.  We are called to be faithful and to follow Him.  Our actions cannot save us without faith in God, but our faith shouldn't just be a list of good ideas or things to do.  Our faith needs to be made real and alive through action.  With faith in God and confidence in His power and guidance, we can live our lives in faithful actions for God's glory!

Don't just make a list.  Act on your faith for God's glory!

Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for all of the reasons for having faith in You.  Help me to act on that faith so others can see Your glory.  In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
