Don’t
be content with simply hearing God’s word. You can agree with it, and believe
it is true. But, if you’re not acting on that truth, thinking it enough to
simply agree, you are mocking that Holy Word. Don’t deceive yourself – or
others! (James 1:22)
What are you doing today to act on your
trust in Jesus? When have you put yourself on the line in a way that the plan fails
without His action – because He told you to do it? To truly believe, every part
of you; every aspect of your life must be fully invested in following and obeying
Jesus. There are no carve-outs where you can maintain control.
This challenge to, “act on that truth,”
doesn’t mean to simply dream up a work to do for God, and then go do it because
you believe. It is a much more challenging charge. To act on the truth of the
Lord is to submit to His authority and constantly communicate with Him,
listening for - and immediately acting upon what the Holy Spirit calls on you
to do. Whether the task is large or small, the same answer applies. Simply
obey.
Believing, trusting, following; all these
words mean action. Act today.
