JAMES 1

22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.

23 For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:

24 For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.

25 But whoso looked into the perfect law of liberty, and continuity therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.

LOOKING INTO THE MIRROR

The older you get , the less you look in the mirror, well that’s my excuse anyway!

For the Christian, it is the opposite, the Christian loves to look into the mirror of God’s word to hear from God how to further his Christian walk.

If we look into the mirror of God’s word and God speaks to us about something and we do nothing about it, what is the worth of you looking into the mirror in the first place.

You can sit in church every week, you can agree to all the sermons, you can say, Oh yes, that’s a good thing to do, but if you don’t do it, it is worthless.

You see the word of God is a law of liberty, it is a law of life, it is not a straightjacket to hinder you, but it is a chain breaker to break the power of sin in your life.

The devil doesn’t mind you hearing the word of God, he doesn’t even mind you reading it, what he doesn’t want you to do is to obey it.

If you are reading the word of God on a regular basis and struggling to remember it, keep a journal, write down how God has spoken to you.

if you go to the mirror and there is a great big mark on your face, you go to the bathroom to wash it off, likewise when God speaks to you about something from his word, maybe a sin to be confessed or command to obey, don’t put it off.

Be quick not only to hear but to obey.

TRUST AND OBEY

FOR THERE’S NO OTHER WAY TO BE HAPPY IN JESUS THAN TO TRUST AND OBEY

GOD BLESS YOU
