Actions Speak Louder Than Words

Actions Speak Louder Than Words…

There’s a powerful reflection on the congruence between our words and our lives. It beautifully illustrates how our actions, when stripped of verbal explanations, can reveal the true narrative of our hearts.

For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light.  Ephesians 5:8

Imagine hitting that mute button on your life. The everyday choices, the unseen interactions, the consistent habits – these become the loudest indicators of what truly matters to us. Without the ability to articulate our intentions or beliefs, our lives themselves become the message. Do they echo the love and transformative power of God? Do our actions consistently point towards the light we claim to follow?

This “mute button” test can be a profound moment of truth. If what we see in the silence doesn’t align with the message we intend to convey, it’s an invitation to realign. It’s a call to bridge the gap between our spoken faith and our lived reality, allowing our lives to become a consistent testament, whether words are present or not.

Let’s turn on that metaphorical mute button today and honestly assess the story our lives are telling. If it falls short, let’s be courageous enough to make the changes needed so that every aspect of our being consistently honors the Lord.

Heavenly Father, we ask for the courage to honestly examine our lives, as if under a silent gaze. Reveal to us any inconsistencies between our words and our actions. Grant us the wisdom to understand what needs to change and the strength to pursue a life that authentically reflects your love and light. May our daily living, both seen and unseen, speak volumes of your grace and transforming power. Amen.

Let your life be your argument. It needs no lawyer to plead before the judge; fact speaks for itself.

Walk daily with God at your side!

Love always,

Ed 🙏🏼
