Thus also, faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead. James 2:17

 

I recently purchased a new vehicle, and boy does it have all kinds of accessories to keep you safe while driving. At first, I was overwhelmed by these features and would disengage them so I was in complete control. But over time I have become more comfortable with these features and often use them while driving.

 

As Christians, our relationship with the Lord is very similar. Once saved, you have available to you all kinds of resources for life to keep you on track. Yet, far too often people feel more comfortable when they have control of everything, thus cutting off God’s blessings.

 

Friend, you must relinquish control of your life and have faith in your Savior. He has great plans for you, but you won’t be able to fully function without His guidance and morale compass. As a result of your faith in Jesus, your life should be actively working to live out His will. Living life, under your control, disengages the blessings and resources God provides.

 

Before you take off for the day, engage your faith, so your works can be witness to the presence of God in your life. I promise you will never regret letting go and letting God work in and through you! God bless!
