Great Day Reader!
Today, while reading my Bible plan in the Bible app, a scripture that I have heard several times in multiple translations stuck out to me.
“Just as the body is dead without breath, so also faith is dead without good works”. James 2:26 NLT
The part that stuck out the most was, “faith is dead without good works.” So, many people think the work of faith is an action of productivity, and this may be due to the word work. As humans, we see work as a productivity, measurable action that is calculated by time, talent, and in this case, obedience. Yet, the revelation I got this more is not the work Daddy is talking about. The word work (Holy Spirit insight) means to pause and make capacity for interruptions. In other words, Daddy is calling us to do something that’s outside our routine, checklist, or even scope of practice. He is calling us to do the most uncomfortable thing so the prayers of others may be answered.
When was the last time you heard someone you love call you in the middle of your busyness, and you took the time not only to listen, but provide the solution without them asking? This is your faith at work. It’s being ok the inconvenience interruption from the Father to restore or establish someone else’s faith.
Prayer: Daddy, help us make room for faith work during our busyness. May we not see the moment of a pause and interruption as an inconvenience, but as a moment for your light to shine through us. May we never forget that the true work of faith is found in your interruptions and our obedience.
In Jesus’ Name. AMEN
