ACT ON IT

 

Everyone who listens to these words of mine and acts on them will be like a wise man who built his house on rock. – Matthew 7:24

 

       Take a stroll in the cemetery and you will realize that it’s not just a place filled with dead people; it’s also filled with dead dreams, buried without being fufilled. One reason why these dreams, visions, goals and plans remained figments of the imagination is because they were never put into action.

       Every vision needs to be turned into action constantly for it to become a reality. The dreamer needs to have a bias for action. The visionary doesn’t just ask in faith, but acts in faith, because the extraordinary moves of God begin with ordinary acts of obedience. So if you have a dream, act on it by building specific daily habits that inch you closer to it. Because success is everyday execution and action attracts abundance.

      The same goes with the Word of God. It can’t remain just a cute concept in our heads that we share on social media. For it to transform our lives, we need to act on it. We need to apply it in our lives.

    I heard a preacher once said, “Blessing is God’s department; obedience is ours.” Mike Viñas (mikemichaelfcv@yahoo.com)

 

Pope Francis Says: “Let us all remember this: one cannot proclaim the Gospel of Jesus without the tangible witness of one’s life.”

 

Jesus, teach me not just to be a hearer of Your Word, but a doer.

 

St. John Fisher, pray for us.
