Walk the Walk

18 July 2007 – Walk the Walk

James 2:26

As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead.

Action speaks louder than words! I believe this phrase is being so familiar to most of us, it emphasize that you should act it out rather than just say an empty talk, people doesn’t want you just to talk the talk, but walk the walk!

In the book of James, I have learnt many things concerning of Christian Lifestyle, I have made the temptation clear and prayed that God will strengthen me for all things is possible for whom I believe. Although the temptation is still here and tempting, but I believe that one day I will get rid of it! In this book I also learnt that when you read the word, don’t just read it, do it!

James 1:22

Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says!

It is very important to notice that God didn’t just give us mouth, he also gave us hands and legs; that means God besides wants us to talk, he wants us to do what we said. Nothing can deny the truth when somebody saw that you really have faith from what you did.

It comes to a point that the faith is USELESS when it is not followed by deeds (James 2:26). In other words, it is about our attitude construction, nothing can change the way we think unless we decide it, it is not our circumstances, it is not the things we did, it is not the power of success, it is not the people we know, it is all about our attitude!

Pals, let us note that faith is a fact, agree? But faith is also an act!

Lord,

Change me, create in me a clean heart, wash away my sins, because you are my hiding place. Thank you for letting me to learn that faith does not make effect when the deeds are absent. Lord, be my guide, place your heart inside my soul, makes me can have a chance to talk the talk and walk the walk. What can stop you if you decided to make a move? Thank you, I commit all the Glory and the power and the authority in your name. In Jesus’ name,

Amen!
