Today I was reading a daily devotional and the writer was talking about how a friend of hers had gotten her house broken into while she and her daughter were at home. When the intruder saw her he fled so no one was hurt, but when she told her friend (the writer) about what happened to her, even though her friend was a devout Christian, her friend started speaking fear filled words to her instead of faith filled words, it was then that a neighbor came over and said…
“Here’s where you prove what you say you believe. Your faith in God must now become more than words. Is it your reality?”
Wow! When I read that it really struck me. How many of us can quote scripture and proclaim to be of great faith, but when something serious happens what do we do? That is the real question. Talk is cheap, you can say what you would do in any situation, but when it happens what you actually do says who you really are and what you really believe in. So let’s all start to put our faith into action because faith without works is dead. The next time something serious comes up in your life remember the question that this neighbor posed to her friend, and put what you believe into action. God bless!
