Devotional Reflection
Using this definition, many people who say they are Christians are actually spiritual corpses. To be real, faith has to show itself in service. Faith doesn't just move mountains; it also moves people to do things that honor God and bless others. This shows how grateful they are for God's amazing grace.
Prayer
Holy and Faithful Father, please forgive me when I've been lazy in my spiritual walk. Help me see the many ways I can serve You every day, and then give me the strength to use those chances in ways that bless other people. In Jesus' precious name, I pray. Amen.
