Blessing in Action

In many of my posts, I end with ways to put the concepts the post covers into action. You will find these under the heading "Blessing in Action". Here's why:

James 1:22-25 tells us to go beyond hearing the word to becoming doers.

"But the one who looks into the perfect law of liberty, and perseveres, being no hearer who forgets but a doer who acts, he will be blessed in his doing" James 1:25 ESV

Do not 'read and run'

There are blessings in hearing, and there are blessings that can only be obtained by acting on what is heard.

If something you read blesses you in any way, do not simply scroll, click or swipe away. Take the step of faith and follow it up with action. At the very least, it will make what you have read stick with you and sink deeper.

The action does not have to be what I suggest. Read with listening ears open to hearing from God, and follow any other ways the Holy Spirit prompts you to act. Whatever action you take, be less focused on the outcome and more focused on obedience.

Blessing in Action: Never Sit on Word Heard

This is something you can apply to every instance you hear the word of God. Make a habit of asking yourself the question:

What can I do today to put what I have heard into action?

"For it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law who will be justified." Romans 2:13 ESV

Blessings!
