There is no reason for us to do nothing. So many things in life remind us that we have to do something.
I remember when I was on the high school football team. Some of you are surprised I did that, but I did. When playing defense, the coach said, “when in doubt, fire out.” Do something.
I remember when looking at retirement planning and savings, which we have done recently and years ago. You had to make some choices. Just do something instead of never preparing or wasting what you have.
It pays off to do something. Much is true with our faith. God has given us wisdom. He speaks in to our lives. His guidance and grace and wisdom are readily available for us, and that is why we must do something with it. Staying the same isn’t an option.
That is why the writer of the book of James shows up in the verses I share today.
James 1:22-25 NASB
But prove yourselves doers of the word, and not just hearers who deceive themselves. 23 For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks at his natural face in a mirror; 24 for once he has looked at himself and gone away, he has immediately forgotten what kind of person he was. 25 But one who has looked intently at the perfect law, the law of freedom, and has continued in it, not having become a forgetful hearer but an active doer, this person will be blessed in what he does.
Be a doer. Do something. Don’t just take it in, hear the truth. Don’t just forget what you saw in the mirror, remember and respond. Do something with what God has done for you and in you and wants to do with you.
Faith should be active. Therefore, choose today to be the day you do something with what God has given you.
Pray for that one that is on your heart.
Give a gift or serve that person.
Share your testimony or the verse that comes to mind.
Do something.
