But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. James 1:22 esv
Growing up in the church I always heard the same quote after
someone read a scripture, “May the Lord bless the readers, hearers, and most
certainly the doers of His holy Word.” The more I grow in Christ the more I see
how much of a blessing doing the Word brings. James gives us a strong warning
in regards to the Bible. Along with hearing it, we must also apply the principles to
our daily lives.
As you continue to draw near to God make sure that you are applying
the Word to your life. This means making time to read the word. Then you must
meditate on it (asking God to open your understanding of it). After the
Spirit reveals principles from the Word to your life then make active steps to live
out Biblical principles in your everyday life. Living the Word is sure to bring
blessings, life, and peace to your heart. Don’t just hear the Word. Do it and
be blessed!
