Living Out Your Faith
Just as a human body that fails
to breathe is labelled a dead body,
so too a faith that fails to breathe
us 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.
True faith and good works
cannot be divorced, for your
life is the laboratory in which
your faith is shown to be real.
Dear Lord, we realise You want
believers not only to hear the truth
but also to do it. Grant us grace
to commit to love and to serve;
and help us to seek ways of
Living Out Our Faith In You, for
they are evidence of true faith.
Help us to Seek You for Wisdom;
Help us to Be Slow to Anger; and
Help us to Live Out Our Faith. Amen.
Lord, we Seek You for Wisdom:
If any of you lacks wisdom,
he should ask God, who gives
generously to all without finding
fault, and it will be given to him.
But when he asks, he must believe
and not doubt (James 1:5-6).
Lord, thank You that Your Word
promises that You will give
wisdom to us when we ask for it.
So I ask for wisdom, for I know
true wisdom comes only from You.
Help me to be wise in daily decision
especially when I must act quickly.
Help me to know what to do & what
not to do in any situation. Amen.
Lord, we will Be Slow to Anger:
Be quick to listen, slow to speak,
and slow to get angry. Your anger
can never make things right
in God’s sight. So get rid of all
the filth and evil in your lives,
and humbly accept the message
God has planted in your hearts…
to save Your souls (Jas 1:18-21).
Lord, thank You for being slow to
angry and full of mercy & patience.
Forgive my quick & angry reactions
Help me be quick to listen, slow to
speak and slow to anger, as U are.
Work in me by Your Holy Spirit.
Help me to pour out to You the
things that frustrate me; and help
me rely on You to work in difficult
situations in ways I can’t. Amen.
Lord, we will Live Out our Faith:
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)
Lord, we realise as believers, we are
to show our faith by good deeds.
Help us to be Obedient in
trusting You; and help us do
acts of kindness for someone.
Whilst we may mess up from
time to time, help us learn from
the mistakes and move on. Amen.
