Suppose you see a brother or sister who has no food or clothing, and you say, "Goodbye and have a good day; stay warm and eat well" - but then you don't give that person any food or clothing.
What good does that do? So you see, faith by itself isn't enough. Unless it produces good deeds, it is dead and useless.
James 2:15-17 NLT
Ouch
Monday morning & back to the gym!
He gets under my skin a bit does James.
He starts off with "suppose you see..."
I've trained myself not to see.
Not to hear.
Not to be open to the troubles of others
Not to step towards.
I'm too busy, too important, my agenda, my needs are more important...
Suppose you see...
Maybe it's the person in my house, my street, my church, my workplace, my class, or somewhere else that I need to "see", and step towards.
What does God need to work on in me, change in me, to allow me to see that person who God has for me to minister to. For me to see.
Or will I miss them today?

Joseph replied..."Dont you see, you planned evil against me but God used those same plans for my good, as you see all around you right now - life for many people..." Genesis 50:19-20 MSG The view from the drone. The different perspective. "God has been at work in my life despite, in fact within the hatred that you had towards me. Even though I couldn't always see it, I kept trusting Him, even when He was silent, when all hope seemed lost... God was at work... Can you see that now?" #faith #faithinthedark
