“The Voice of Our Actions”
by Dona Hake
“Actions speak louder than words.” You hear this more times than not when poor behavior has been exhibited. Many times our body language is speaking at times even when we are not saying a word. Our actions can exhibit things, and could be misinterpreted at times. Just as we know that we need to think before we speak, we also must make sure our reactions to things are not improper.
Let us remember that actions that proceed from a loving heart, and a heart that seeks to do the right thing will speak and produce good things. These are the actions that will minister grace to those around you. On the other hand if you are angry or disturbed with someone or a situation, your body language, and behavior may be exhibiting what you are trying so hard to hide.
Lord, help us to seek Your wisdom in our behavior whether it be in word, deed or actions. May our words and actions speak of Your character especially Your love. There are many people that need to see You as You live and dwell within us. May our lives and our actions speak, and be a testimony that gives glory to You. We thank you for Your help in this area of our life. In Jesus Name we ask this!
James 3:13 (HCSB)
“Who is wise and has understanding
among you? He should show his works by good
conduct with wisdom’s gentleness.”
