“ACTION!”

For any area of your life to be fit you will have be diligent to exercise it. First you have to know what to do and then you have to do what you know. If you want to change your life you will have to change your lifestyle. You can sit around and pray all day but if you don’t add some action afterward you’re still not going anywhere. God’s not going to move you but He’ll help you move when you get moving. And once you get going you have to keep going. It takes consistency to maintain positive change. It’s not just short bursts of activity but the little things you do everyday that make “your way.” And where is your way leading? Are you going somewhere or do you just keep riding the bike around the block? Which is fine if that’s all you want out of life but if you desire increase and improvement you will need to be active in those arenas - Physical, mental, spiritual, social and financial all require exercise for excellence.

You know you need to exercise and there is no excuse. Not everybody can do the same thing but everyone can do something. So use it or lose it! Stop praying for God to do it for you and ask Him to help you and the get up and get going. Then tomorrow do it again and the next day and the next. Decide you like exercise because it’s the way to increase. Don’t buy the lie that it’s too hard for you because it’s just not true. You know you can do it if you put your mind to it. It may be a bit challenging and especially at first but not nearly as hard as dealing with the consequences of not doing it. If you’ve been praying for deliverance but still feel discouraged then you might just need to ask God to help you be disciplined and determined. So that what you began and desire to do you can see through. When you finally act on what you’ve just previously willed, then you’ll find yourself elated and thrilled. Hey! That sounds like a good thing to do everyday.

In order for God to direct you life He requires “Action!”

James 2:18-21
18 But someone will say, "You have faith, and I have works." Show me your faith without your works, and I will show you my faith by my works. 19 You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe — and tremble! 20 But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is dead?
NKJV

1 Thess 5:23-24
23 May God himself, the God who makes everything holy and whole, make you holy and whole, put you together — spirit, soul, and body — and keep you fit for the coming of our Master, Jesus Christ. 24 The One who called you is completely dependable. If he said it, he'll do it!
