Do it. ( John 2 v 5 )

I remember being given a reprimand because I had not carried out a certain task, I was told ,' do it'. In James 1 v 22  we read,'' Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. It is W. Barclay who writes, ''.Dr .Johnson was one of the great talkers of  all time; John Wesley was one the great men of action of all time. They knew each other,and Johnson had only one complaint about Wesley;''John Wesley's conversation is good, but he is never at leisure. He is always obliged to go at a certain hour. This is very disagreeable to a man who loves to fold his legs and have his talk out,as I do'' But the fact remains that Wesley, the man of action, wrote his name across England in a way in which Johnson the man of talk, never did.'' Jesus our Saviour said , ''Not everyone who says to Me ,' Lord, Lord', will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven''( Matthew 7 v 21 )
