DOERS

James 1:22-25

But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.

For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror; for he observes himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was. But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one will be blessed in what he does.

Personal Challenge

Our world is filled with people who have mastered the skill of accumulating information and yet not doing anything constructive or productive with that knowledge. It is also filled with people that are full of their own personal opinions which are driven by pride and arrogance. Neither of these are of any value to the world around us. It is our responsibility to seek out and listen to the truth that is available, to discern it from the lies and fabrications, and most importantly, act upon that truth with conviction and resolve, seeking godly and righteous results. We are to be doers and not just hearers. Lord, have mercy! Lord, have mercy! Lord, have mercy!
