“There Is Something To Do”
Monday, September 8, 2025Key Verse
“But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.” James 1:22
Text —James 1:21-27
Message
Children are often faced with the temptation to be idle. They want to do nothing but play. However, true success is never achieved by people who do not do what they are supposed to do. You must be serious with your studies and read your books if you want to pass your exams and succeed.
There is something to do if you ever desire to spend eternity with Jesus in heaven. You must truly repent of your sins. There is something to do if you want to make it to heaven when the trumpet sounds. You must seek God passionately for your heart to be made holy and daily live a life that pleases God.
There are many examples in the Bible and in our days of people who became great because they did what God required of them. Elijah by himself could not create the fire that fell from heaven, but God did after Elijah did what he could by repairing the altar. Do what you can and what you are expected to do. Greatness lies in doing the right things. Do something useful about your life today and every day.
