Lord, please give me the courage to put my faith into action.
Ezra 10:4
4 Rise up; this matter is in your hands. We will support you, so take courage and do it.
When Ezra was down on the floor praying and confessing to God the people came to him for help. They encouraged him to get up and to be brave enough to take action. It’s always good to pray and the Bible says we should pray at all times and in all places. But there also comes a time when we need to have the courage to act. Our faith is truly put to the test when we decide to put our words into action. Living by faith takes courage. It means that our faith is strong enough that we can trust the Lord to guide us when we’re not sure which way to go, that we’re confident that He will give us strength when we are weak and that we’re sure He’ll be with us and take care of us in every situation. Taking action is an excellent way for us to proclaim our faith and trust in God. It proves that we know He is faithful and that He’ll never leave us.
