Spiritual vs. Somatic Action

Here’s the truth – You aren’t where you want to be because you aren’t working towards it. Part of my message to the world is faith will take you to amazing places when you allow it to replace the doubt you feel about the next step to take when attacking your goals, the other side of that coin is focus. And with focus, comes intentional action. The Bible says this about lackluster effort:
What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save them? Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food. If one of you says to them, “Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it? In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead. – James 2:14-17
Faith is not enough. Prayer is not enough. Fasting is not enough. Meditation is not enough. Although, all these things have a role, none of them take the place of a SMART plan. Financial success is ultimately about money. Money is simply math. The math in business is Income – Expenses = Profit. None of which are dependent on faith, in the physical sense. So, while your spiritual journey is an important piece of the puzzle, you have to realize that it’s just a piece, not the whole. The whole requires several components.
Let’s switch gears to talk about somatic action. Somatic is really just a fancy word that means dealing with the body, distinguished from the mind or spirit. Here’s another simple, yet true observation; this thing is going to take WORK. You may not know what the work is just yet, but you have to prepare yourself to be stretched and pulled spiritually, emotionally, mentally, and physically.
The good news about all of this is that you can handle it. You have been created to handle this. I know you feel that inkling in the back of your mind. That idea that just won’t go away. The angst that won’t allow you to sleep at night. Stop ignoring God’s voice after you’re done praying!
