Most of us desire to live a full, abundant, authentic Christian life.
BUT…
Somehow, we couldn’t break free from bad habits and worldly desires.
Somewhere along the way we fall back into the same pattern of struggle with sin.
James encourages the Church to be doers and not merely hearers.
“But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves…
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 1:22, 25)
The first step towards living a genuine, trusting, faithful life in Christ is to abide by his
words. This means to do what he commands. This means to obey.
Obedience is adhering to instructions even when you cannot comprehend it.
Obedience is our willful conscience decision, choosing to acknowledge that we are limited, constrained in our knowledge and wisdom, so we submit before the omniscient God faithfully trusting He is good, He loves us, and has our best interest in mind, and following His way is better than stumbling life on our own.
Daily devotion is fundamental to our spiritual growth!
Yet, we repeatedly fail to build the habit of reading God’s Word on a daily basis.
Our problem is not that we don’t have time;
Our problem is our priority!
Be a doer who acts!
Doing God’s command is not a suggestion.
