Devotional - Taking action

As you therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk IN him, rooted and built up in Him…

Colossians 2: 6-7 

Message:

There are some things in life we do for ourselves, and there are other things people can do for us. 

Having a faith and walking IN Christ is something we have to do for ourselves.

It is not head knowledge

It is not something to observe someone else doing is it? 

We must actively participate in it for it to be effective!

Just as you can’t live out someone else’s faith, Sensory processing treatment is not something that will change anyone unless they are the one doing it! – it’s not a spectator sport!

We must find what any individual needs, what they need at that moment in time to thrive, grow and live a sensory healthy life.

Sensory Integration is something that must happen IN an individual – a bit like walking IN Christ. We can’t walk after Christ or watch Christ but walk IN him.

Knowing about sensory issues generally, watching the courses but not taking action, is not going to help much. 

If all you have capacity for is to watch and absorb, then it’s wonderful that you are, but there has to come a time when the faith in sensory health principles turns into action and you start implementing the system and activities into your daily life.

POINT TO PONDER:

Are you spending enough time ‘in action’ to see results?

PRAYER:

“Dear Heavenly Father, you say that faith without action is dead. Help me to apply that truth in all areas of my life. Help me to see where I am looking like I’m doing something but in reality, I’m not. Help me to turn those good intentions into tiny steps of action that will grow and bear fruit. Thank you that you just didn’t think it was a good idea to send Jesus, but You actually sent Him, and He carried His task through to the end, and didn’t just think he could leave dying to someone else – or delegate it to a disciple. Help me to do my small part and take action today. Thank you, Amen!”
