Scripture:
“But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.”
— James 1:22 (NKJV)
Points:
- Christianity is not just listening — it is living out what we hear.
- Hearing the Word without obedience leads to self-deception.
- Doing the Word means active, visible obedience in daily life.
- God desires transformation, not just information.
- Obedience is the evidence of faith.
Poem: The Word I Walk
It’s not enough to only hear.
The Word is meant to shape my day.
It’s not a story stored for thought.
It’s strength for hands and feet to move.
It lives in me when I obey.
I’ve heard before and walked away.
I’ve nodded while my heart stayed still.
But now I long to truly live.
To let the Word direct my step.
To let it rise in how I love.
Each truth is meant for more than mind.
It wants to dwell in what I do.
It calls me to forgive and speak.
It tells me when to stop or go.
It shapes the small and unseen parts.
A faith that only listens fades.
A faith that acts begins to grow.
It digs down deep and bears new fruit.
It does not wait for better times.
It simply moves and follows Christ.
So let me live what I have heard.
Let Scripture find its voice in me.
Let not my ears be deaf again.
Let not my faith be only words.
Let doing prove the love I claim.
Prayer:
Father, help me be a doer of Your Word today. Let my actions align with what You have taught me, and may my life bring glory to You. Amen.
