But don’t just
listen to God’s word. You must do what it says. Otherwise, you are only fooling
yourselves.
- James 1:22
(NLT)
How often do you find yourself at a meeting, lecture, or sermon where you hear the words but aren’t truly listening? Or maybe you’re having a conversation with a friend, child, spouse, or sibling, and every word seems to go in one ear and out the other—you’re just nodding and saying “uh-huh” at the right moments. If you’re like me, this happens more often than we’d like to admit. We listen, but we don’t really hear. And when that happens, the chances of us actually acting on what we’ve heard are pretty slim.
It’s the same with God’s word. We can’t just listen—we have to put it into practice, let it change us, and live according to what we’re taught. If we’re just coasting through life, only hearing the noise, we’re only fooling ourselves into thinking that’s truly living.
