Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. But whoever looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues in it—not forgetting what they have heard, but doing it—they will be blessed in what they do.
James 1:22-25
QUESTIONS:
- Is there an area God has given you instruction, but you haven’t taken action?
- What is on the other side of your obedience?
PRAYER: God, thank you for your Word. I’m thankful that you want to speak to me and that you want to increase my ability to hear your voice. I pray that you would open my spiritual ears and remove any blockages in my life that hinder my relationship with you. In Jesus’ name, amen.
