ACTION FAITH
Matthew 7:24
" 'Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine and does them, I will like him to a wise man who built his house on the rock.' "
It is not enough to hear or even understand what Jesus taught. The issue is: What do I do with my knowledge? Hearing and doing go hand in hand with each other. There are people who can quote the Bible better than I, but their lives do not demonstrate their knowledge. Active faith requires doing. That is why James said, "Be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves" (James 1:22). The wise man is not deceived into thinking that knowledge is enough. Obedience is the hammer required to build a solid faith on the Rock.
TODAY'S PRINCIPLE: Knowledge without action is empty deception.

Have an "action" day. Love you.
