“What good is it, dear brothers and sisters, if you say you have faith but don’t show it by your actions? Can that kind of faith save anyone? So you see, faith by itself isn’t enough. Unless it produces good deeds, it is dead and useless.”
James 2:14, 17 NLT
this faith will make us want to love others. to serve others. to grow the Kingdom. this faith will make us want to do all of these things and more.
there’s a lot to take from the reading today. you have job crying out to God. God knows exactly how job is feeling. God knows how we are feeling during the different trials we face. it’s good to have Godly people around you that pushes you in your trial to go talk to God like Eliphaz in job 5:8 ““If I were you, I would go to God and present my case to him.”
i love how job was open and honest with God. God already knew but He also wants to hear it from us.
The favoritism verses hit home. Total conviction. I have felt a negative shift in my mindset lately regarding this and this morning received the conviction and humility I’ve been praying for. Praise God for His timing, His correcting love, and for His mercy being new every morning!
Faith, without works is dead so I should put the word of God to action daily

Faith apart from works is dead. Such a good reminder!
24 “Teach me, and I will be silent;
make me understand how I have gone astray. – Job 6:24
13For judgment is without mercy to one who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment.
26For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, so also faith apart from works is dead.
