Faith Without Action Is Dead
If one of you says to them, “Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it? In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead. James 2: 16-17, NIV Faith without action is dead. It’s like telling God, “I trust you,” and then suddenly feeling exhausted because we want to control everything. It’s like expressing “I love you” to our Heavenly Father yet continuing to follow our selfish desires. Real faith can be seen in actions. You know that you truly believe in God and stop doing your own thing when you find…

Sometimes, what Hurts you Affects what you do
A simple act that happens even in a concise amount of time can affect how you think and behave about things or people. It will last for a while or even a lifetime if left unhealed. It does not mean that the past will stay in the past. Because what happened in the past will always find its way to appear in the future. Such things caused you so much pain and trouble. The event may have occurred already, but how you now respond to things has changed. You may deny it and say it’s done already, but be careful because it may leave you with an unhealed wound. Some…

Day 346 – James 2:24
You see that a person is considered righteous by what they do and not by faith alone. James 2:24, NIV Let your actions reflect your faith in God. Sometimes, we keep things inside, and we think that it is enough when we just believe and learn new things. But then faith is nothing if we don’t apply it in our lives. You may think that it’s so hard but never forget that God will teach you how to do it. Just be humble enough to follow His instructions. Serve Him and the people around you. Let your words and the things you do be rooted in love. Align your life…

Day 345 – James 2:17
In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead. James 2:1,NIV Faith is dead if you will not accompany it with actions. So if you wanted to grow in the Lord, then apply what you learned in the Bible and follow the ways of Jesus. Do not just keep everything in your head. What you discovered about God is useless if you will only keep them inside. Instead, try to put them into action, and you will feel more of God’s blessings. He will teach you so many things as long as you are humble enough to follow His instructions. Do it even…

God Sees Your Intention More That He Sees Your Action
Your Heavenly Father is after of your heart. He knows your intention even before you turned it into action. So before you do something, always consider your reasons why you wanted to do it.

If you wanted to see God in your situation, you need to submit all your plans to Him, and He will take good care of you. Remember that God looks at your heart. He wants you to do things that will not harm you in the end. And He alone can lead you…

Day 70 – James 2:17
In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead. James 2:17, NIV Learn to obey God in everything that you do.

Let God move in your circumstances, and you will see miracles upon miracles. His ways will not only bless you and your family but also those people who witnessed all your struggles. So stay faithful to God and do His will because He will use…

Hate The Action But Not The Person
This is what Jesus did for all of us. He hates our sins, but still, He loves us so much. He doesn’t look at our mistakes. Instead, He chose to die on the cross just to show us that we are important and valuable in His eyes. Jesus shows us what forgiveness and mercy are all about. I pray that we will be able to do the same thing to those who caused us pain. May we look at their actions instead of hating them as a person. May we love them just like what Jesus did. Let’s not focus on the wrong things that they did. Instead, we need…
