James writes very clear instructions on how to express genuine faith in Christ … put it to work by your prayers and deeds.

He challenges us to be expectant in our asking and be exertive in our actions. The follow through of actually putting works to our mental commitment pleases the Lord.

Active, effective faith is looking for ways to express itself. It has a pulse. Without a pulse, we are dead.

PRAYER: Lord, prompt my heart today to exert my faith through my deeds.
