HonorBound Devotion: March 24, 2010
Read James 1:23-25 – Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like a man who looks at his face in a mirror and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. 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.
Every morning we look in the mirror at the man standing in front of it. As we look, we see the spots, blemishes and cracks. As we stand there, we see the effects of age and wear on our faces. As we stand there, we do all we can do to correct what can be corrected. Once we leave that mirror, we lose concern with its image. The same is true with the man who looks in the Word. He sees the truth about himself. As long as he looks in the Word he gets an accurate image of who he is. But let the man get out of the Word and he forgets his blemishes and focuses on the blemishes of others. More can be done when we see the truth about ourselves. The best way for men to be changed is to let the Word change us.
