Doers of the Word But prove yourselves doers of the word, and not merely hearers. JAMES 1:22 NASB
It's stressful to believe one thing but do something else. And as Christians, we must beware: Our actions should always give credence to the changes that Jesus can make in the lives of those who walk with Him. God calls upon each of us to act in accordance with His will and with respect for His commandments. If we are to be responsible believers, we must realize that it is never enough simply to hear the instructions of God; we must also live by them. And it is never enough to wait idly by while others do God's work here on earth; we, too, must act. Doing God's work is a responsibility that each of us must bear, and when we do, our loving Heavenly Father rewards our efforts with a bountiful harvest. Action springs not from thought, but from a readiness for responsibility. ~Dietrich Bonhoeffer Slowly I have realized that I do not have to be qualified to do what I am asked to do, that I just have to go ahead and do it, even if I can't do it as well as I think it ought to be done. This is one of the most liberating lessons of my life. ~Madeleine L'Engle In times of stress and adversity, it's always best to keep busy, to plow your anger and your energy into something quite positive. ~Lee Iacoca The church needs people who are doers of the Word and not just hearers. ~Warren Wiersbe TODAY'S PRAYER Dear Lord, I have heard Your Word, and I have felt Your presence in my heart; let me act accordingly. Let my words and deeds serve as a testimony to the changes You have made in my life. Let me praise You, Father, by following in the footsteps of Your Son, and let others see Him through me.
