Sometimes I wonder how people live with themselves, thinking that they know where/what God wants them to be, but don’t do anything to be where/what they think God wants them to be.
Maybe all they do is just think. Easy, aye?
It comes back down to the simple phrase that we are all too familliar with.
No Action, Talk/Think Only.
Charles Stanley said,
A thought reaps an action,
An action reaps a habit,
A habit reaps our character,
Our character reaps our destiny.
If we don’t move beyond thinking [thought] to doing [action], how are we going to arrive at our destiny? I guess it’s always the hardest to take the first step. Wouldn’t you agree? Here’s a great example. How many of you spring out of bed in the morning, right up on your feet? First step of the day! Of course, I’m sure all of you .. eventually .. get up .. to go to work, like this morning .. right?
Back to our destiny. If God has a plan for us, plans to prosper us and not to harm us, to give us a hope and a future, why aren’t we on that plan? Why aren’t we living the destiny that God has promised us? And the answer to all of God’s promises are YES and AMEN! We can do all things through Christ who strengthens us
Back to action. Why no action? Maybe we don’t have enough faith. Some snippets from James 2:
- What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if people claim to have faith but have no deeds? Can such faith save them?
- Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by what I do. You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that—and shudder.
- In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.
- As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead.
With no action, no faith, no destiny, no life. Man, this entry is getting more morbid by the paragraph.
So, is your faith dead or alive today?
