Devotional: Faith And Actions

Read: James 2:14-26 (NKJV)

As we see here from our reading today, faith goes hand in hand with actions. We cannot say we have faith in God, if we don't show it in our lives–in how we treat other people. When we see a need, we should meet that need by providing for the person. We can't turn our backs on people–especially our brothers and sisters in the faith, or our friends and family –when they are in need. If we can help them out in some way, we need to be willing to do so. As God blesses us, we in-turn should bless others. Freely we have received, so freely we should give.

Faith and actions work together. There is a saying that goes 'actions speak louder than words'. This is so true. We can speak all the right words, but it means nothing if we don't back it up with actions. Let our lifestyles show our faith.

What if a person has enough money to live on and sees his brother in need of food and clothing? If he does not help him, how can the love of God be in him? My children, let us not love with words or in talk only. Let us love by what we do and in truth. - 1 John 3:17-18 (NLV)

Help me, Lord, to show my faith
In everything I do
I don't just want to speak my faith,
But show it by actions too.
