Morning Thoughts

A walk through life toward eternity

What Are We Doing—IF Our Faith Doesn’t Move Us to ACTION?

“Be anxious For nothing,
But in everything—By prayer and supplication
[making petitions & asking]
With Thanksgiving—Be Thankful
[up front; first of all; foremost]
Let your requests—Be made known to God.
And the peace of GOD—
[the peace that comes only from Almighty God],
Which surpasses—ALL Comprehension 
[God’s Peace is unfathomable & beyond ALL human understanding],
Will guard your hearts and your minds—In Christ Jesus
[Jesus, the Son of God, HE will Himself Guard us, in our hearts and in our minds].

(Philippians 4:6-7)

WHAT IF—in taking steps—our Faith became bold—as we went?
WHAT IF—in taking steps—our Faith took un-doable risks—as we did?
WHAT IF—in taking steps—our Faith proclaimed our thanksgiving to God—as we journeyed forward through life?
WHAT IF?

OUR FAITH WAS BOLD & FULL, MOVING US TO ACTION?

Nowhere in the Bible do we ever see reminders of the faithful ones standing still, remaining inactive. 

BUT

Everywhere in the Bible we find reminders of the faithful ones—TAKING ACTION!

Going forward.

(READ Luke 5:18-19 to see the What IF Faith of the friends who brought their friend to Jesus).

Doing the unthinkable.

(READ Luke 10: 33-36 to see the Samaritan, the one not from there, showing the What IF Compassion on another who was hurting  &  making plans to return, to repay even more when he returned).

Showing compassion beyond measure,

Taking risks.

Making future plans.

Praising God.

(READ Luke 17: 14-19 to see the ten lepers healed, seeing how nine go away healed, REALLY SEEING the What IF Praise of how only ONE—IN FAITH—TURNS TOWARD JESUS, Glorifies God, Falls at Jesus’ feet, & Gives thanks—To Jesus Christ for ALL He has done).

Thanking God.

Praising God.

Glorifying God.

Kneeling & Falling at the Feet of God.

Thanking God—Even AS…They were Going.
Thanking God—Even AS…They were praying.
Thanking God—Even AS…They were asking God.
Thanking God—Even AS…They made their requests known to God.
Thanking God—Even AS…The peace of God surrounded them.
Thanking God—Even AS…The peace of God surpassed them.
Thanking God—Even AS…They could not even comprehend the peace God provided. 
Thanking God—Even AS…God’s peace guarded their hearts.
Thanking God—Even AS…God’s peace guarded their minds.
Thanking GodWho Gives Salvation to ALL through Christ Jesus.

Let us NOT BE AFRAID. 
Let us NOT BE ANXIOUS. 
Let us NOT LIVE PARALYZED. 
BUT. . .
LET US PRAISE—&—THANK—&—GLORIFY GOD—&—BE RISK-TAKERS—&—GO—&—TAKE STEPS FORWARDGOING IN FAITH—&—DOING THE UN-DOABLE—&—DOING THE IMPOSSIBLE—& WALKING IN FAITH THROUGH JESUS CHRIST.
