Doing

I was thinking today about doing, we are full of praying. "Lord please help me to be a better husband, father and man of God." I was thinking about that very prayer and how it is all about myself. I can pray that till I am blue in my face, but until I put action into the prayer and walk by faith, that will just be a prayer. I need to do what I pray for, I need to be willing to put action into my prayers.

It is walking by faith and not by site or how I feel. It is actually putting my prayers into action, that is what belief is all about, it isn't just about praying and waiting, it is about doing.

How many times in our life do we pray for something, but if we do not do it, we think that our prayer is not answered, it comes down to am I willing to do it? Am I willing to put action into my prayers am I willing to walk by faith?

We ask for strength, but if we do not try, who is to say we don't have strength, or if we are looking for peace, but are not willing to walk in the peace God has given us, what are we than? We are being like the world, we are fluttering around like a leaf in the breeze, we go from the things that are the easiest, we do what comes easy and that is all. God didn't say our walk would be easy, but He did promise to give us just what we need to get through it. Are we walking by faith or are we walking by how we feel or what is easiest?

I want to put action into my prayers, am I willing to walk by faith? Am I doing it daily or am I just like a leaf fluttering to and fro landing where ever the wind takes me. Time to plant my roots in the ground and start standing in the promises of the living God, the one that came and conquered death, not so I would wait, but so I would walk by faith.

It is time to walk.
