Grace for your spirit October 8, 2008

For just as the body without the spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead. James 2:26

I drove through a construction zone today. At least it had all the signs of construction, except for one thing. There was no work. Signs are up, detours are in place, machinery is present, supplies have arrived, but where are the workers. There is an important job to be done, but everyone is on a break. I saw a diamond shaped warning sign in front of a church one day that simply said, "God Working". He’s always working, but what about us? We can have the faith, the signs, the supplies, the people, but if everyone is on a permanent break, where is the working? Is there a faith that does not work? Yes, dead faith. The break needs to be over, or take the signs down.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit
Philippians 4:23
