James: book of Godly wisdom - part 16
JAMES 1:22
...but be you doers of the Word and not hearers only,
deceiving yourselves.
In Today's verse James really puts it out in plain English - he does not mince words at all - he tells it just like it is - how can we only just hear the Word and yet not be doers of the Word - we could spend our lives reading God's word but if we never apply it - its not going to do any one any good - yes we find out about who JESUS is through HIS Word - we learn much through the Word - and we see exactly what means to be a blood bought child of God - but if we spend all our time just absorbing the Word and never once apply it -we are being shortchanged and lives around us will not be changed - I attend a weekly Bible study - I have done this about 2 years now - I have learned much but the stress has been on doing what I am being taught - there was a time when I knew very little scripture - but then God called me to this ministry and my knowledge of the Word increased and with it - my responsibility to be a doer of the Word - Lets apply what we have learned - because learning is just the first step -its not the only one - sometimes its good just to apply the Word's truth - in our circumstances - and in the problems of this sin-filled world of ours - we must be doers of the Word - many can warm a pew - but how many have been used to change the world around them? Let God use you today - let HIM teach you and then do it!
Just do it is what James is talking about! Now go--Do it! amen!
a side note: Its not what we learn that matters -
its how we use what we have learned!
in CHRIST we can do what the WORD says!
