Faith is an Action Word

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

Observation: Faith is a verb and in my life should be doing something. God has given me commands to do things with this life He has blessed me with. I’m supposed to spread the gospel, take care of the poor, love others and each one of these demands an action to be accomplished. I can’t tell God I have faith and that I love Him, but do nothing to prove it.

Application: In a week I’ll be heading up the Thanksgiving dinner for those in need and this is an action of faith, but it’s only one thing. I should be busy everyday putting my faith into action. Others should be able to see my faith by what I do and I need to be doing something.

Prayer: Dear Lord I can’t thank you enough for all you have done for me and I know I could never pay you back. Let me show you that I love you through my actions by keeping your commandments and doing the things that bring you joy.
