James 1:22 (NKJV) 22 But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.
If we just listen and never do anything with what we hear or learn, what good will come from it? Applying it is how we get results and see changes come; Good changes!
As we read God’s word, this is Him sharing His heart with us. The conviction we feel at times, even though it can hurt or make us squirm, is Him trying to help us. He’s showing us where we may need to change things up a bit. He is not condemning us for what we’ve done or not done, but simply showing us the truth of the matter and how to fix it.
It’s up to us to listen and then do it, not listen and then say, “well, I’m still a baby Christian, I need some more time for that one”.
We all have things within ourselves we need to be tending to and changing. And not one of us is better at doing it than the other. We all have to work hard and It takes constant effort for sure.
Let’s focus today on the things we know we need to be doing. And in the meantime, keep loving each other, because we are all working toward trying to get it right. Amen.
