A Reflection On Obedience

When I need to let the Word affect my actions

Listening to the Word is immensely profitable, but it can be dangerously deceptive as well. When we hear the Word, we often make the mistake of believing it has become a part of our lives. That’s an illusion. The Word is only effective when we’ve allowed God to move it from our minds into our hearts, and then outward into our actions. Anything else will lull us into a false sense of security. Do not be deceived. “Do what it says.”

Don’t just listen to God’s word. You must do what it says.

James 1:22
