Absorbing God’s Word
“But the one who looks into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and perseveres, being no hearer who forgets but a doer who acts, he will be blessed in his doing.” James 1:25
Applying God’s Word
Becoming a hearer or a doer of God’s word is no easy task. As a young man, I was too caught up in myself and my worldly image to hear anything God was trying to tell me. The more I strived to be a winner in the world the further I drifted away from God and His purpose for my life. I was more focused on being a loser in the eyes of the world than a winner in the eyes of God.
Last week’s election seemed to label people in our nation winners or losers based on who they voted for. Not so! We are all winners if we look into the perfect law of liberty, persevere, and are not a “hearer who forgets but a doer who acts” out of love for Jesus Christ.
Accounting of God’s Word
Am I a winner in the eyes of the world or in the eyes of God?
