James
2:17
"In the same
way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is
dead."NIV
"Even so
faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone."KJV
True faith in the
Lord will always bring changes in our outward life. Faith is more than a mental
belief. It is a trust that automatically brings a response from us. If we claim
to have faith but ignore the needs of others, fail to share the gospel, and
behave in the same way the world does, our faith is powerless and worthless.
True faith produces fruit, and will find a way to express itself in our daily
living. Faith transforms. Transformation shows up in our lifestyle. Is our faith
showing?
Heavenly Father,
we confess that our faith has wavered and has not shown through our actions at
times. Forgive us when our faith is weak. May the Holy Spirit stir up our faith
so that we will be showing our faith to the world around us. We pray in Jesus'
name, Amen.

My prayer too. Oh how those words can smite us when we fail to exercise what we say we believe.
