Living Out Your Faith (Dec 21)
Just as a human body that fails
 to breathe is labelled a dead body,
 so too a faith that fails to breathe
is labelled a dead faith. And the
breath of faith in the Christian life
is good works: demonstrating
concern for the poor, controlling
the tongue, exhibiting a spirit of
humility and building up others.
Lord, we will Live Out our Faith:
Consider it pure joy whenever You
 face trials because the testing of
 Your faith produces Perseverance.
 Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature & complete,
not lacking anything (Jas 1:2-6).
 What good is it… if someone
claims to have faith but has no
deeds?.. Faith by itself, if it is not
accompanied By Action, is dead.
But someone will say: You have
faith; I have deeds. Show me your
faith without deeds, and I’ll show u
my faith by my Deeds (Jas 2:14-18)
Abraham believed God, and
 God counted him as righteous
 because of his faith. He was even 
called the Friend of God (v23).
Lord, grant us the hallmark of our
faith be the ability to face troubles
with Your perspective in mind.
Grant us Lord the ability to
face troubles with Your grace.
Help us to hold on to Your promise
so that when my faith is tested,
Endurance has a chance to grow,
and we will be Complete In You.
In Jesus’ mighty name, Amen.
Lord, we realise we are to show
our faith by the good Deeds we do.
Help us Be Obedient in trusting You;
for You Lord want believers not only
to hear the truth but also to do it.
Grant us grace to love, to serve and to seek ways of Living Out Our Faith
for they are evidence of true faith.
Prompt us do acts of kindness;
and whilst we may mess up at times,
help us learn from mistakes and
move on. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Lord, we want to be Your Friend.
Grant us faith that works
its way outward in our lives.
Grant us faith that will cause
us to do what we believe in.
Help us to be more like You, know
Your purpose & be united with You.
Let our faith and actions draw us
closer to You as a Friend. Amen.
