Many a time we read a lot of spiritual books and materials, watch sermons or hear spiritual messages and exclaim they are good. But seldom implement them in our lives. We take them so lightly that we fail the importance of life application. The Word of God is not just to read and feel good about it. It is for our nourishment and growth for only these can change and mold us to what God expects us to be...
James 1:23-25 (New International Version)
23Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like a man who looks at his face in a mirror 24and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. 25But the man who looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues to do this, not forgetting what he has heard, but doing it—he will be blessed in what he does.
One more thing to be noted here and not to miss is, whatever we do will be blessed only when we yield to God's Word. It is no magic but God's order and way. This is to say, that the person who has set his/her heart to do the will of God by doing what the scripture says is a blessed person. May our hearts be set to follow God's Word intently so that we will be in the center His will always.
