Applying the Word to your Life?

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 a man who looks at his face in a mirror and , after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. But the man who looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues to do this, not forgetting what he has heard, but doing it - will be blessed in what he does. - James 1:22-25


Are we listening to the Word? Are we reading the Word? Are we applying the Word to our daily lives? James clearly challenges us to do more than merely listen to the Word. Like any other discipline we have implemented in our daily lives, how much more should we consider applying the Word to our daily lives. We are guaranteed a blessing in what we do by applying the Word of God.

Blessings to you on this Labor day.
