July 18, 2009 Walk The Talk
Today’s Bible Reading: Isaiah 32, 33, 34, 35; James 2
Scripture Focus:
James 2:26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
Observation:
A person’s faith will be consistent with his actions. We can say we have faith all we want, but until we act upon it, who will believe us?
When we don’t have the works and actions that belong with real faith, it’s like saying a dead body is alive. If you’ve ever seen a dead body, you know the difference between that and a live human being.
Application:
I must make sure my actions are consistent with what I say I believe. If they’re not, perhaps I need to examine what I really believe!
Prayer:
Father God, I don’t want to be one of those who talk the talk but don’t walk the walk. Give me the faith I need and the strength to act upon that faith.
