Putting it into Action

Read James 1:19-27

Reflection of Tommy:

Although reading, studying and listening to God’s Word is important, but it is far more important to really obey it and to do what it says. We put into action what we have learned from God by displaying them in our behavior and attitudes. James also said that when we truly obey and continues to do what God has taught us in His Word, we will be blessed in all that we do (v25).

Dear Father, thank You for teaching me to put into action all that I’ve learned from Your Word. Guide me also to be always in control of my speech (v26), slow to speak but quick to listen (v19). Keep me away from being polluted by the world’s corrupted values but instead to commit myself fully to Christ’s ethical and moral system. In Jesus’ Name I pray, Amen.
