Default Stepping Out in Faith

Love Worth Finding

Stepping Out in Faith
“For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.” James 2:26
When you ask God for something, do you just sit back, do nothing and say, “Well, I’m going to show my faith by doing nothing”?
To the contrary, you will show your faith by doing something. For faith without works is what? Dead! (Also see James 2:20.)
Do you want a house? Pray for it. Then say, “Amen,” with a hammer and saw.
Do you want a wife? Pray for one. Then go shave, put on some cologne, learn some manners, and learn how to be thoughtful and loving.

What have you been praying earnestly about this week?
What is your heart’s desire?
Ask the Holy Spirit to show you how you can put feet to that prayer.
Then, walk the talk!

Stepping out in faith, how awesome is that. Knowing what ever decision we make, we know our God is with us. His Presence up lifts me, strengthens and encourages me to try my best.

All I am asked to do is try. TRY the last three letters of the words Just For Today.

When we pray we give over not give up. Wait for the Good Orderly Direction, it will come. If you don't know, then the time is not right. As my spiritual adviser said to me, "If the time is right, you will know. If you are in doubt, pray for the knowing, it will be given to you."

We wonder why we get into Self, so much is wishful thinking and we blame it on our God. We call it His Will, when we have prayed, and didn't wait on His will. We go along with our wants and wishes and did it our way, because we are fearful that God will say "No!" or later.

As you know one one my favourite sayings is, "Pray for the willingness to be willing." Pray for the willingness to wait on His Will. End your prayers with, Your Will, not mine.
