James 2:21 Was not our father Abraham considered righteous for what he did when he offered his son Isaac on the altar? 22 You see that his faith and his actions were working together, and his faith was made complete by what he did.

Our faith needs to be accompanied by our actions. If our faith is without action, our faith is incomplete (James 2:17).

When most people think of actions, they think of practical applications we must do while we’re standing in faith. Some practical applications include applying for a job while standing in faith for employment or taking medication while standing in faith to be healed. These applications are great, but there are also emotional applications we must do while we’re standing in faith.

While we’re standing in faith, we must keep our emotions in check. If we’re standing in faith for a financial breakthrough, our emotional applications should be having peace and joy because we know God is our Provider. If we’re standing in faith for a spouse, our emotional applications should be feeling uplifted and whole, rather than lonely and depressed.

Let’s complete our faith by aligning our practical applications and emotional applications with what we believe.
