Do Not Merely Listen To The Word And So Deceive Yourselves ( James 1 )

Do What It Says,

That is pretty direct. There isn't much to ponder there as we
walk on to glory with God. Yes there is wisdom in the word
but wisdom is only the beginning. There are higher things
like accepting God's love and doing God's will. Some would
study the scriptures inside out and end up with a head full of
knowledge but the Pharisees did that. Over and over again
they tried to trip Jesus up on scripture. They felt the law was
there for their salvation. That is why Jesus admonished them
over and over again. They knew the laws but they did not know
God. So it is up to us to love, to live to be crucified with Christ
as Paul says. We will never be God and God never asks us to
be because He knows we can't be. But we should never stop our
development in holiness and growing in the Spirit. God does
give us the Holy Spirit but we can go through life without the
full benefit of the Spirit by putting pride over surrender.

We Are In The Company Of God; We Are His Children.

Job tells us "god speaks first one way, then another, though you don't perceive it" . We must seek to perceive and respond to His communication just as Jesus said in John 16-13, "He will guide, speak and show" all truth, we are to act upon it in obedience.

Knowing Him in our hearts, feeling His presence, trusting in His goodness is the most powerful gift we have. Thank you for the reminder. Glory, Glory Halelujia, His truth is marching on. Oh Lord we lift Your name on High. We thank You for Your Word. We thank You for You.

Amen

Surrendering to Him is so important.
It seems like pretty much there and
maybe all the way there, smiles.
