Are You Acting on Faith?
“For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.”
James 2:26

Ponder This
When you ask God for something, do you just sit back and do nothing and say, “Well, I’m going to show my faith by doing nothing.” On the contrary, you will show your faith by doing something. For faith without works is what? Dead! (see James 2:20)
Do you want a house? Pray for it. Then say “Amen” with a hammer and saw. Do you want a wife? Pray for one. Then go shave, put on some cologne, learn some manners, and learn how to be thoughtful and loving.
Practice This
What have you been praying earnestly about the last week? What is your heart’s desire? Ask the Holy Spirit to show you how you can put feet to that prayer. Then, walk the talk!
