Just Do It- James 1 (The Mirror)

On Sundays, I'm continuing through our "Just Do It" series based from James 1:22. Here's a thought from Sunday and James chapter 1: The Mirror.

James 1:23-25 describes a man who looks in a mirror, sees what needs to be addressed, but who then walks away and neglects to do things that need to be done. Few people simply get out of bed, look in the mirror, and then start their day as-is. Usually some combination of showering, brushing, combing and/or shaving is in order. Things that make them better.

In the same way, many people read Scripture or listen to sermons but the Word of God does not impact or affect how they live; they don't live out what they've learned. They don't deal with what the mirror (God's Word) has shown them.

Here's The Point: We're promised blessing (James 1:25) when we apply what we learn; when we look "into the perfect law", see ourselves as we really are and then do something about it.
