James 1:22
But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.
If a person believed eating meat wasn’t good, you probably wouldn’t find them eating a hot dog. If they cared deeply about protecting forests, you’d probably find them planting trees. Our actions reveal what we truly believe. The same is true of our faith. Trusting God isn’t just something you say, it’s something that changes the way you live.

Ezra 10:4
Arise, for it is your task, and we are with you; be strong and do it.
Following God’s law wasn’t always easy, and the Israelites certainly didn’t do it perfectly. In fact, there were many times they fell woefully short. But there were moments when they recognized their wrongdoing, humbled themselves, and obeyed the voice of the LORD. In those times, their actions revealed their faith.

Luke 5:26
And amazement seized them all, and they glorified God and were filled with awe, saying, ‘We have seen extraordinary things today.’
When Jesus healed the paralyzed man, the crowd was amazed. But the greatest miracle wasn’t that the man walked home, it was that Jesus proclaimed his sins were forgiven. By healing him, Jesus showed everyone He wasn’t just an ordinary man. He was the promised Messiah with authority not only to heal broken bodies, but to forgive broken sinners.

Psalm 68:35
Awesome is God from his sanctuary; the God of Israel—he is the one who gives power and strength to his people. Blessed be God!
The word awesome has changed over the years. Today we use it to describe a great meal or a fun day. But in the Bible, the word points to something much deeper: a response of reverence, wonder, and awe in the presence of God. So, when the Psalmist refers to the awesomeness of God, make sure you know what he’s really trying to say: God is worthy of your praise.

Revelation 4:11
Worthy are you, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they existed and were created.
If you created something and someone else got all the credit for doing it, that wouldn’t be right. Yet everyday people enjoy the sunrise, the mountains, the oceans, even the breath in their lungs and don’t give God the glory He deserves. So as you start your day today, let God know just how much you appreciate all He’s done and continues to do each and every day.

Hebrews 12:28-29
Therefore let us be grateful for receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, and thus let us offer to God acceptable worship, with reverence and awe, for our God is a consuming fire.
The earth can be shaken. We’ve seen it happen time and time again. But God’s Kingdom is different. It cannot be shaken because it isn’t ruled by nature’s law, it’s ruled by the very One who created nature in the first place. So today, don’t place your hope in a world that’s crumbling, place it in the One who never changes.
