Devotion:
Read James 1:19-27.
Here are good instructions about living life together as the Church, with a focus on putting our faith into action. The heading for these verses in my children’s Bible state: “Listen to the Word and do what it says”. So easy to say, much harder to do. Helping, encouraging, and lending a hand wherever you see a need. That is serving God. The Holy Spirit encourages us and prompts us to do what the Word says.
He is the one who gives us a hunger for His Word, and when we abide in His Word, He gives us the strength we need, not just to read about change, but to actually experience change. Then we’ll no longer be merely hearers of the Word, but also doers.
Personal Worship Option:
Open your Bible today and read the whole first chapter of James. Ask God to grant you the grace to do what He commands in Scripture. Then give thanks that He’ll empower you to do what He asks.
