Do not be meer hearers... be doers of the word

"Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like a man who looks at his face in a mirror and after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. But 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." {James 1:22-25]

You know as I was reading Charles' blog (tanewo.blogspot.com), the Holy Spirit spoke to me. Many a time, during G12 conferences and all, we go into a spiritual 'high'. But why is it that we cannot sustain that 'high'? That's because we're not good soil... we listen to His word and don't apply it in our daily lives. Because we do not apply His word, it shows we havn't truly understood it.

My cry to The Lord is that I will hunger for His word daily... that the hunger will be so great that I cannot go on with my day without first meditating on His word. Indeed, it is His word that has power, it is The Word of God that sustains me, it is The Word of God that transforms and renews our lives. I pray for the one reading this now, that you too might receive that same hunger that The Holy Spirit has put within me for the Word of God... i bless you that as you read God's word, your life will be transformed. =)
