Faith and action are inseparable. Wherever there is faith there will also be action. The truth is that faith has its evidence in action just as wisdom is evident in physical manifestation. When a man is not taking action it is because he has no faith. At the point of faith everyone will be ready for action, for it is the action that delivers every products of faith.
In the scripture we read today, God’s word confirmed to us that faith without work is dead. The word ‘work’ here is referring to action. The summary of this scripture is faith without action is not going to perform. If we truly believe that God is our source; if we believe that He is our sure help, then the evidence shall be in our readiness to do well to others even in our unpleasant situations.
This is because we know that our help shall surely come and we shall surely come to praise Him. Step out to obey the Lord. Step into that vision having receive His instruction. Start with the little. Step out to serve the Lord, to give in God’s house as God impresses on your heart. This does not reduce you. Be a blessing to the poor. Wear your new dress and be free from fear of not having a better one and God will keep surprising you.
Prayer: Lord, strengthen me to be out for you.
“UNTIL YOU STEP OUT OF THE OLD, YOU MAY NOT STEP INTO THE NEW”
