Scripture:
James 1:22 (NKJV).
“But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.”
Understanding:
JESUS CHRIST calls me to live by HIS truth and obey HIS Word. When I only hear the Word without obeying it, I deceive myself. As I remain in HIS Word and do what HE commands, HE keeps me from deception and helps me stand firm in the truth.
Application:
I will examine myself every day to see whether my thoughts, words, and actions are according to GOD’S Word. I will ask LORD JESUS CHRIST to make me obey HIS Word and walk in HIS truth instead of following my own understanding or the ways of the world.
Prayer:
In the name of JESUS CHRIST… Lord JESUS. Make me obey YOUR Word and walk in YOUR* truth every day. Make me examine myself and keep me from deceiving myself. I pray all this in the name of JESUS CHRIST. Amen.
