It is amazing to see how God helps us when we start to help ourselves. In my lifetime I have seen miracle after miracle in crisis, in time of great need, when broken persons have done their best and go even a little way in putting their trust in God. God always does the rest. It is almost unbelievable how God helps us when we start to help ourselves.
As we, by our action, say, “Christ, I believe, help Thou my unbelief.” the activity and power of God flows and accomplishes.
The Bible is filled with God’s faithfulness in answering prayer, in caring for God’s own. As we believe and are committed enough to meet God’s conditions through putting His Truth and our faith in action, we can transform the world. As co-workers with God, our part is to act and apply the Truth we believe.
Faith comes to life within us when we initiate action. Jesus said, “If ye know these things, blessed are ye if ye do them.”
God’s law is a “get-up-and-do” religion. It promises much and it demands much. It does not teach us that we, because we profess a faith, are excused from expressing and living this faith. Our Heavenly Father is wooing us, reminding us that we are His, that He loves us and wants us to prove our love for Him by doing those things that please Him.
Do we dare to take Jesus at His Word?
Do we dare to put our faith in action?
