Be a Doer and Don't Just Do

Have you ever had everything in your quiet time for like three or more consecutive days be totally different lessons...but all of them help you with the same thing? Well if you haven't, you just haven't needed it yet. Or maybe you have and you just didn't pay enough attention to it. Keep your eyes open, be aware of what God wants to tell you and is trying to tell you. It may be something so important as to change your entire life focus, and then it may be something small. Be faithful in the small stuff also though, if you aren't then you will not be able to deal with the rather large problems and trials and tests that God brings into your life.

Last night I was reading in James chapter one and I came to verse 22, a verse that we all have heard a billion and one times. "But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves." Every time that I have heard this verse, I thought it simply meant to do what the Bible says to do. I then read some commentary on that verse; it said that this verse doesn't mean to just do what the word says, but have your entire personality be based around the Bible and everything inside of it. Now that really seems impossible for us humans...and it really is. But with God's help it's something we can achieve, because everything is possible through Jesus Christ.
