Follow God's Will
Instead of taking Paul’s affliction away, God gave him the strength to endure it because it was His will. Why is it important for us to follow God’s will, even when it is difficult?
I t is important to follow God’s will because God knows what is best for us. He is omniscient, and He also loves us very much. For that reason, He would never ask us to do anything that is bad or anything that will harm us. On the contrary, everything He asks us to do will always help us in some way, whether it is to become
more mature spiritually or to gain wisdom to discern
right from wrong. I t is important that we always strive
to follow His will, even when it seems impossible.

Put Faith into Action
What does it mean in the Book of James when it says, “ faith without works is dead” ? Why is it important to put our faith into action?
James is telling us that our faith alone is not enough. We cannot say we have faith in God, but turn a blind eye to someone in need. Rather, we need to both have faith in God and put His words into action by opening our hearts to others in need. It is important to put our faith into action, because not only will it allow others to see God in us, it will show God that we love Him.
