My Reflections

The Lord Delights in Me

Take UP Your Cross

Prompt:
Write your favorite Bible verse? Why is this your favorite verse?

Answer:
Psalm 37:23-24
23 The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and he delighteth in his way.
24 Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the Lord upholdeth him with his hand.

This tells me the Lord delights to lead me and direct my paths. It is his pleasure to help me. I will not be completely destroyed or cast down because the Lord will hold me up.

Scripture writing - James 2:14-17

Scripture:
14 What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?
15 If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food,
16 And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit?
17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.

Observations:
Verse 14- It is one thing to say you believe in something. It is an active belief when your actions show it.
Verse 15 & 16- If you know someone is in need, and all you give them is well wishes, how is that going to help them. You can show that you believe they truly are in need by giving them what ever it is that they need.
Verse 17- Belief in Jesus Christ without out actions to back it up profits no one.

Application:
It is one thing to believe something, but it is another to prove it. Actions speak louder than words.

Prayer:
Dear Heavenly Father,
Help me to show my faith through action. Help my love for you to be more than just words. May people see and know you through the life I live.
In Jesus's name,
Amen

Prompt: “In a forest of a hundred thousand trees, no two leaves are alike. And no two journeys along the same path are alike.”
