Faith without Deeds is Dead

Scripture: James 2: [17] In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.

Observation: My faith and deeds are not nearly strong enough to honor my Father. My faith falters so often and my deeds should be more abundant for the mercy and blessings my Lord gives to me.

Application: A day, a moment, should not go by that I don’t show God my faith in him and at the same time I should be thinking of ways to show that faith by serving him and others in his name. I need to make a conscience effort to think of things to do that would please and honor God.

Prayer: Dear Father please increase my faith and show me how to live this life in glory and honor to you. Guide me in the things I can do to show you my love and devotion to you and draw me close.
