Do Something

There’s an old Chinese proverb that says this.

I hear and I forget.

I see and I remember.

I do and I understand
.

There simply is no substitute or replacement for action.

When it comes to following Christ through this world, we understand him and his ways best, really coming to know him, by doing the things he did.

It’s important to hear about them, it’s crucial to see them, but in the end, we must take action.

Jesus asked the people hearing and seeing him, "Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say?"

James (2:26), the brother of Jesus, puts it this way:

As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead.

What do I need to DO today?
