It has been a month and a day since I launched this blog. As was my goal, I have managed to write a little something every day.
So I have met my writing goal. Good for me.
But what about my doing goal?
When I read James 1:22 a few minutes ago, I thought writers in place of hearers:
“But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.”
For the second month of this blog, I want to maintain my writing while increasing my doing.
And lest this get no further than Mark Roth’s efforts, I want to remember Philippians 2:13.
“For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.”
Brother, this is absolutely so true! Be doers of the Word and not writers only, talkers only, or hearers only, deceiving youself. These three are important, for we must hear first, then speak or write to communicate, but the *doing* of living for God is the command and goal of the saved.
The preceeding verse says, (Jas 1:21) Therefore lay aside all filthiness and overflow of wickedness, and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls. (NKJV)
Lord make me the garden where your Word grows into full salvation! Amen.
