Grace for your spirit. July 23, 2012

Grace for your spirit
For just as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead. James 2:26

By faith, God has done a great work in us, and He wants us to work out what He has worked in us. Faith is not meant to be alone. The faith and trust that we have in Him needs to produce good works in us. Many a believer has wanted to be productive, but have become discouraged because they can't seem find any work in His kingdom. They have gifts, they have faith, they have the opportunity, but these are never activated. Maybe like a person who prays everyday for a college education. For years they pray for that diploma, but still nothing. They ask God what they can possibly do. This time God answers them saying, "Enroll in school and study." We need to see that God will help us in our works, but we need to put our faith into action. He can work with that. Working with nothing is harder.
