Act On God's Word

JAMES 1:22 NKJ 22 But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.

How easily we fall into the trap of listening to, or even studying, the Bible – but not acting on its instructions. According to this verse, that opens us up to deception. We think we are spiritual. We think we are safe. But then, when things don’t work out we will blame God and question why He let us down.

LUKE 6:46-49 NKJ 46 “But why do you call Me `Lord, Lord,’ and do not do the things which I say? 47 “Whoever comes to Me, and hears My sayings and does them, I will show you whom he is like: 48 “He is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid the foundation on the rock. And when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently against that house, and could not shake it, for it was founded on the rock. 49 “But he who heard and did nothing is like a man who built a house on the earth without a foundation, against which the stream beat vehemently; and immediately it fell. And the ruin of that house was great.”

Trouble is coming – it’s part of this life. If you act on the Word, trouble will not destroy you and your household. If you neglect acting on the Word – no matter how much you hear it – when trouble comes your way, it may be devastating.

Why?

Not because it’s God’s will, or God doesn’t love you. Simply because you refused to act on the instructions which God – who knows more than you do – gave you for your protection.

DEUTERONOMY 12:28 NKJ 28 “Observe and obey all these words which I command you, that it may go well with you and your children after you forever, when you do what is good and right in the sight of the Lord your God.

God gave us His Word because He loves us and desires to help us. Not because He likes to boss people around and give orders. Acting on God’s Word is for our benefit.

SAY THIS: I will act on what God says to me in His Word.

Glorify God In Death

ECCLESIASTES 3:1-2 KJV 1 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: 2 A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; Death is a part of life we cannot escape. The Bible does not say a certain time has been determined for you to die. It says it has been appointed for us to die once. After death there will be judgment (not reincarnation.) HEBREWS 9:27 KJV 27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: There is a time to die. When you have lived a full life, then it is time to face death. It is also a good time to die when you can glorify God by your death. Too many people think life is to be grasped at any cost. Whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord’s, and we should seek to glorify Him and please Him. JOHN 21:19 KJV 19 This spake he, signifying by what death he should glorify God. And when he had spoken this, he saith unto him, Follow me. ROMANS 14:
