Fantastic Friday #603 - Act

Act

21 Was not our father Abraham considered righteous for what he did when he offered his son Isaac on the altar? 22 You see that his faith and his actions were working together, and his faith was made complete by what he did. 23 And the scripture was fulfilled that says, “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness,” and he was called God’s friend. James 2:21-23

When we act on something, we typically put a great deal of thought into it. We usually plan, think through the different scenarios and go with the best plan that is going to get us where we need to be.  When we react to something, there is usually not a great deal of thought put into it.  Abraham acted on what his Father told him to do, and his faith was made complete as the scripture reads.  If we were to take a lesson and Act instead of React, our life might take a different path, one that is rewarding and loving and ends up being faith-filled.  Focus on the Act in our life and not the Re.

Have a great weekend.
