Lights Camera Action
God's Word is so exciting to study. Everyday is a new lesson to behold and so often one thing leads to another. Like chips, you can't eat just one. One bite of God's Word gives you a hunger for more knowledge, comfort, peace and joy.
While reading Matthew 7:24-27 on the wise man building on the rock and the foolish man building on the sand, which leads to destruction I ended up in James 1:22
"Obey God's message! Don't fool yourselves by just listening to it."
The thought came that anyone can listen to God's Word. Some sit there Sunday after Sunday listening, but not living and loving what they've learned to the point of obedience.
The photo above is of a disc game. You drop the penguin disc in at the top, but you don't know where the little fellow will land. When we allow God's Word to drop into our lives
we want it to land in our hearts and minds, but without the Holy Spirit engaged, the Word can roll right out and land on zero making no impact in the way we live.
From Matthew, I ended up in Luke 11:28 "Even more blessed are all who hear the word of God and put it into practice."
Next, I landed at Got Questions.org and absorbed these words...
"God's Word demands a changed heart that prompts a change of behavior."
No matter how old we grow our hearts should always be changing to be more like Jesus.
The Word of God is a light onto our path.
God is watching through a camera lens that sees right into our hearts.
Our actions reflect our obedience to what we've heard in God's Word and the changes in our hearts which are pleasing to God.
