John 3:21 (AMPC): "But he who practices truth [who does what is right] comes out into the Light; so that his works may be plainly shown to be what they are-wrought with God [divinely prompted, done with God's help, in dependence upon Him]."
When we consistently fellowship with the Lord and choose to serve Him wholeheartedly every day, our confidence towards Him grows. Drawing near to Him and following His leading one day at a time develops a strong and solid trust in Him and His Word. Living each day like this fills our hearts with faith. Why is this so crucial? Because when trouble comes, this faith is exactly what God responds to. It's our faith - not our need - that moves Him to act on our behalf! Love God; delight yourself in doing His will. Your consistently walking closely to the Lord, practicing the truth, will give you the confidence you need to trust Him to be your Deliverer, your Healer, and your Provider in your time of need. Because you have taken the time to know His true character and found His ways to be perfect, no doubt will contaminate your faith as you trust Him to take care of you and perfect everything concerning you.

Friday, 15 March 2019 | Reading taken from James 2:17 (NKJV)
James 2:17 (NKJV): “...also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.”
The Message Bible says: “God-talk without God-acts is outrageous nonsense.” Real faith is tested and it requires action. Consider the woman who suffered with the issue of blood. She didn’t stay at home locked away from life, hoping for change. No, she went out to where Jesus was. She pressed through the crowd, touched the hem of His garment, and received her miracle. Hebrews 3:15 says, “...while it is [still] called Today, if you would hear His voice and when you hear it, do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion [in the desert, when the people provoked and irritated and embittered God against them].” Instead of sitting around complaining and groaning, and wishing for a change; God’s people could have trusted His Word, stepped out in willing obedience each day – and walked right into their promised land years earlier than they did. They could have chosen to align their attitudes and conversations with faith in God and acted like people who were thankful, and joyful, and on their way to their promised land! Today, make up your mind to get up and act as someone who is walking in God’s promises. Choose to delight yourself in Him and His ways regardless of your circumstances. Before you realize it, you’ll be walking right into the promise your faith has been reaching out for.
