Be A Doer of the Word
My life makes its boast in the Lord. Psalm 34:2
I have found three principles to be life-changing when followed faithfully every day:
1. Eliminate excuses and avoid procrastination. Being a doer of the Word is putting your faith into action. Faith without action is dead faith
James 2:20 You fool! Do you want to be shown that faith without actions is useless?
2. Face the truth no matter how painful it is. Truth is the only thing that will set you free
John 8:32 You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.
God's Word is full of truth. Start your day in the Word of God.
3. Stop feeling sorry for yourself. Understand who you are in Jesus Christ. You are more than capable in Him
Philippians 4:13 I have the strength to face all conditions by the power that Christ gives me.
Enjoy the Power to Love Others
So speak and so act as (people should) who are to be judged under the law of liberty (the moral instruction given by Christ, especially about love). James 2:12
It can be difficult to grasp the idea of the "law of liberty", because law and liberty seem to be worlds apart: A law says one thing, while liberty says another. I believe the law of liberty spoken of in James 1:25 refers to the freedom of self-control, because God puts a new heart in us that wants to obey His law of love.
With this new heart that Jesus gave you, you have the ability to be led of the Spirit, who gives you the power and freedom to love others. Enjoy your day by allowing the Lord to love others through you.
