Workers of the world … let faith be seen in action

Morning: Psalm 119:137-160; Job 23:1-12; John 1:43-51

Evening: Psalm 139; John 12:20-26

Some talk about the faith, reason about it, and convince people of its validity. Others are more inclined to show their faith in what they consider practical actions. Saints Philip and James, whose day it is today, are practical apostles. When Nathanael and ‘some Greeks’ are curious about Jesus, Philip gets cracking and sets up a meeting. For James, the quality of faith is measured by actions that bear it out. Perhaps it is only a coincidence that Philip and James share their day, May 1^st, with the various celebrations of workers around the world, but it is fitting.
