Actions speak louder than words,” is an old-age

Actions speak louder than words,” is an old-age proverb.

July 28, 2024

Actions speak louder than words,” is an old-age proverb. For a person’s action will tell you everything you need to know about a person. Action is defined as the work which we do and is visible to everyone, whereas words are merely spoken words which are heard by others only. They are just words spoken. I was raised on these words, “Actions speak louder than words!” So, if these words are true, what do your actions reveal about your faith? Can others see God in all that you do? Or when others meet you, do they meet a secular oriented person? Or do your actions sometimes reveal God and sometimes not? Or is God revealed only when it is convenient for you? How do people see you? 1 John 3:18-19 says, “Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth. This is how we know that we belong to the truth and how we set our hearts at rest in his presence…” It is something to think about! God Bless. Amen.
