The Word Alive and Active!

 Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. James 1:22

Have you ever purchased something that came with instructions, but you never took the time to read them in order to operate the very thing you purchased? Most items that come with instructions, not only tell you how to operate it, but it also gives you wisdom to work it at it's fullest capacity.

The Word of God is powerful in itself, but it was meant to be read, meditated upon and then performed in the lives of God's children. It's fullest potential is recognized once we've begun to live it. In our text, Paul is letting us know, listening to the Word is not merely enough and if we believe that we are deceiving ourselves. We must allow the Word to become active and alive in our lives.

Let's take the words off of the pages in the bible and incorporate them in our everyday living!
