James 2:17 Thus also
faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.
Sometimes it may seem like just a freezing, cold morning and
a dreaded trip to Meijer on icy roads, but as you whisper, “Jesus” when an impatient
driver passes you, God is preparing you to encourage one of His dear ones.
I usually go to the self-check lane but today, there was NO ONE in the full-service lane and the
clerk was just waiting for ME. She mentioned she was trying to do something
for herself to feel better and I opened my mouth. I told her how a quote by my friend Wayne
Holmes, changed my thinking and started me on my 5 month journey (5 months
today) to health and losing 45 pounds.
In his message, Wayne stated, “Faith is us cooperating with
God.” The light went on and I
realized that my prayers for healing were in vain if I refused to “cooperate
with God.” As I have begun to do what I can do, God is doing what only
He does; my health has returned and the weight has come off faster than in all
my “dieting
experience.”
It works in every area of your life. Whatever you need today, PRAY about it and then COOPERATE
WITH GOD…you will be amazed. My
lovely clerk wrote down the quote, gave me a hug and thanked me for encouraging
her today…Continuing my journey, cooperating with God is turning out to be
quite an adventure.
