On Our Word... And His

A quick, short and sweet #effectiveSunday post before we all step into service shortly, right?

Sure.

Well, I posted on my personal social media page last night that I needed a distraction and so, as Job experienced break-through in his life when he prayed for his friends, I too, asked my friends how I could pray for them.

Of course, as soon as a new comment was posted, I immediately took a few moments or minutes to lift them up in a prayer, especially as there were a couple that were incredible experiences and difficulties that people were facing.

Then, this morning, a friend posed the question... when we say we are going to pray for someone, do we actually do it, or do we put it and off and perhaps, end up forgetting about it?

Well, isn't that interestingly timed? I'm not sure if the two postings are related, but it got me thinking this morning...

How can one be effective, let alone efficient, if we don't at least do what we say we will do? In matters of faith or life or otherwise?

On this #effectiveSunday, pray that the church and the people of God would indeed be people who would follow through on our words and actions. May we be people who would, both literally and figuratively, engaged in the world offering the cup of cold water that people so desperately need. Pray that we would be effective in reaching out and reaching across; that the truth of the love of God would be made real and transparent to those around us outside the church and to everyone who steps through the doors.

That we would be doers of the Word of God,
Absolutely.
That we would be doers of our word, naturally.
Pointing others to Christ
By living in ways that honor Him
For the glory of God.
