“But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves” (James 1:22)
During Tuesday night’s revival service, something was said about being active in service to God and it started me thinking. I began getting several action words or verbs that are given to us in God’s Word. I wrote them down and will write about it later. But I was going through some of my blog posts and came upon one from 2016 that was on this same topic. I want to re-share it with you.
- You won’t get the job unless you apply for it.
- You won’t accomplish the task unless you start it.
- You won’t get closer to your destination until you take the first step.
- You can’t get in shape unless you get off the couch.
- You can’t be a good athlete unless you go out for the team.
- You can’t harvest a crop unless you plant the seed.
- You can’t walk on the water unless you get out of the boat.
- You can’t receive Heaven’s blessings if your arms are full of the world.
- You won’t receive until you ask. You won’t find until you seek. Your door won’t open until you knock. (Matthew 7:7)
God will do His part WHEN we do our part.
“Come near to God and he will come near to you.” (James 4:8).
“If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.” (John 15:7).
Think about what we are doing for God. What are we doing in service to our fellow man? God has given each of us at least one Spiritual gift to use to accomplish His plan for us. And, He will be with us all the way. Let’s get moving and show some Godly action.
