Blessing 54- James 1:25

James 1:25
But the man who looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues to do this, not forgetting what he has heard, but doing it, he will be blessed in what he does.

“Not forgetting what he has heard, but doing it.”
That’s what is most important for a believer. When we hear the Word that is expounded to us, how much do we really take and practice in our lives? Unless the ‘heard Word’ becomes practical in our lives, we cannot receive the blessings.

When we act on the Word that we hear, God is happy that we are obedient to Him. There are many who give excuses because they do not want to obey the Word. This may be due to their fleshly desires or love for the world. Human relations can also be an obstacle for some, as they tend to please people rather than God and then the Word that they heard becomes null and void. When we do not ‘do’ the Word that we hear, we are deceiving ourselves and no one else. So let us be ‘doer’s of the Word that we hear and receive God’s blessings.
