VERSE

“But don’t just listen to God’s word. You must do what it says. Otherwise, you are only fooling yourselves.”

JAMES 1:22 NLT

THOUGHT

Have you ever felt a nudge deep in your soul to help someone, but hesitated? Maybe it was fear, doubt, or just uncertainty about whether it was really God prompting you. These moments are part of our faith journey. As we grow and learn to live on purpose, we become more aware of how the Spirit leads us. 

Even when we miss an opportunity, God uses it to teach us, shaping us into people who are more willing, more responsive, and more like Jesus each day. So the next time you feel that prompting, reach out, speak up, or step in. Say “yes,” and trust that your obedience creates space for God to move in powerful ways.

Take A Hint

Think about the last time you might have missed an opportunity to be there for someone. If it’s not too late, go back and do the thing that God put on your heart. If you can’t remember, pray that God gives you an opportunity to love someone today, and for the faith to say “Yes!” when He does–then go do it!
