Live Out the Word
James 1:22 [NIV]
Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says.
The Word of God is exactly God’s word to us. It is God’s mind revealed in written form that shapes and transforms us in order to conform to His will. The Word of God is not meant for the head but for the heart. It is to be received with great joy and readiness of heart – with the expectations to be blessed and transformed by it.
Jesus told a parable in Matthew 13 of the sower who sowed the seed and it fell on the good ground and bears fruit. This implies that, a believer should receive the Word of God with the mind to act on it. It must become real to him like the things he can touch, the Word of God is a living thing.
God desires we learn, meditate, believe and live out His Word as it is written “Let the Word of Christ dwell in you richly”. I urge us therefore to read, read, and receive it with all humility.
CONFESSION
I believe, receive and act out the Word of God in Jesus name.
Amen!
