Christian Reflection and Prayer

Scripture:

"This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent...
They said to Him, "What sign will you perform?" (John 6: 29,30)

Reflection:

It has always been fascinating to me that people who question the existence of god seem to
always want proof. I think they mentally make a list of things that God needs to do to prove
Himself. Whats sad about all this is that they can't seem to see all the wonderful things God
has already done for them . Even the people who followed Jesus and witnessed His miracles
asked for more and more proof , they were never satisfied. I have a suggestion, instead of
waiting for God to do that one thing that you demand of Him to prove Himself. Why don't
you take a look at what He has already done! I know I do and it makes a whole lot of
difference in my life.

Prayer:

Oh mighty God, I need no proof of you existence because Your grace is constantly
at work in my life. Help me to be ever mindful of Your presence and to always seek
Your guidance in my life. I praise You and honor You! THANK YOU GOD FOR
BEING GOD. In Jesus name amen.

Scripture:

"Show me your faith without the works, and I will show my faith
by my works". (James 2:18) NAS

"That without works is useless". (James 2:20) NAS

"You see that a man is justified by works, and not by faith alone."
(James 2:24) NAS

"For just as the body without the spirit is dead, so also faith
without works is dead" (James 2:26) NAS


Reflection:

We are always asking God, show me? We want proof that God is God.
We want proof that God loves us, as if the death of His Son would not be
enough. I think James is telling us that we need to prove to God and others
our faith. You see faith without good works is not really faith. We must
show our faith our faith in Jesus through our actions. The ironic thing about
all this is the proof that God is God in us!!!!!!!

Prayer:

Jesus I pray that my faith in you is seen through my good works everyday.
My love, compassion, and service is found in my faith in You.
THANK YOU GOD FOR BEING GOD

(Just a reminder, this is from the book you use as a
guide for making decisions.)


"You have heard that is was said, 'An eye for and eye, and
a tooth for a tooth'. But I say to you do not resist him who is evil;
but whoever slaps you on your right cheek turn to him the other also."
(Matthew 5:38,39)

"You have heard that it was said, 'You should love your neighbor and
hate your enemy.' But I say to you Love your enemies, and pray for
those who persecute you".
(Matthew 5:43, 44)
