1 Chronicles 22:16
Arise therefore, and be doing, and the Lord be with thee.
The one who hears the word of God must be moved by the word of God. If one is not moved to action, there is good reason to wonder if one heard. The hearing is manifested in the doing. If there is no doing, there is good reason to begin to question the hearing.
Ezekiel 37:4-10
Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the LORD. Thus saith the Lord GOD unto these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live: And I will lay sinews upon you, and will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and ye shall live; and ye shall know that I am the LORD. So I prophesied as I was commanded: and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold a shaking, and the bones came together, bone to his bone. And when I beheld, lo, the sinews and the flesh came up upon them, and the skin covered them above: but there was no breath in them. Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live. So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army.
Where the word of the Lord gives life, He also gives muscle. Where the Spirit moves, He provides the means to move. He sends the mettle and the muscle. He makes bones into battalions and changes the inert into action.
1 Corinthians 15:58
Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.
In the Lord, we live, move, and have our being. We exist and exert in Him, for Him, through Him, and to Him alone. And none of it is for naught.
So, get up, get to work, and God be with you.
