"But someone will say, 'You have faith; I have deeds.' Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by my deeds. You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that - and shudder. You foolish person, do you want evidence that faith without deeds is useless? Was not our father Abraham considered righteous for what he did when he offered his son Isaac on the altar? You see that his faith and his actions were working together, and his faith was made complete by what he did." -James 2:18-22 (NIV)
It is often easier to say something than to do it! We may know and say what we need to do, but putting our words in to action may be difficult or push us out of our comfort zones. Our words without actions are empty!
Our faith is like the words we say. If we have faith, then it should be reflected in our works. Our faith is empty if we don't share it! The opposite is also true. Our works are without reason if we don't have faith in God. It is our faith that gives meaning to our works. To make our works complete, we need to proclaim our faith and support it with our actions!
When proclaiming your faith, make it complete with works for God!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for giving me reason for having faith. Help my faith to be supported by and filled with works for Your Kingdom and Your glory. Through Jesus I pray, amen.
