JUST DO IT

We're told in James 1:22 to "be a DOer of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves."  That's a powerful sentence!  These days we'd say it this way:  "Actions speak louder than words!"
Often we comment, "I'll believe it when I see it!"  Here's another similar saying:  "Walk your talk!"

In society these days, words cannot be trusted!  Contracts are easily broken, lies are commonplace, cheating is considered okay (if you don't get caught), marriage vows are short-lived, promises are not kept, etc.  People of integrity...people who are honest, and those who speak the truth are far and few between.

When my dad gave a HANDSHAKE that was a PROMISE...it was a "done deal!"  He kept his word!  Whether it was a business deal , for a friend, or with his family--his word was good!

Don't SAY IT if you don't intend to DO IT!  People won't respect you--they won't believe you--and you'll damage your reputation if your word is no good!

Jesus DID everything He said He would do!  
     He didn't do everything everybody else wanted Him to do.
           He didn't do everything He wanted to do!
                  He only did what His Father asked Him to do!

May we learn to DO LIKEWISE!!!
