Hearing and Doing

6/8/2016

"But prove yourselves doers of the word, and not merely hearers who delude themselves.  For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks at his natural face in a mirror; for once he has looked at himself and gone away, he has immediately forgotten what kind of person he was." -James 1:22-24 (NASB)
There are times in our lives when we have to listen to or hear things that are unpleasant.  Maybe it is criticism that we'd rather avoid or a direction for our lives that is different than our expectations or outside our comfort zones.  We can choose how we react in these situations.  What do we see and do?

God give us His Word to guide our lives.  We can also communicate with God through prayer.  Whether reading the Bible or talking to God, we may not always hear what we want to hear.  Sometimes God challenges us and calls us out of our comfort zones.  Sometimes God points out our shortcomings.  God does all of these things in love.  By listening to God and then acting on His Word or His calling, we can become stronger.  We just have to trust that God will guide us through it all!

Hear what God has to say and then do what He calls you to do...even if it is out of your comfort zone!

Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for loving me and for challenging me.  Please give me the strength and wisdom to hear what You are telling me and to act on what You are calling me to do.  Through Jesus I pray, amen.
