James 1:22 ESV "But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves."As I stood at the window, I kept wishing it would go away! Today's verse speaks of action instead of just hearing it! The snow continued to fall and I stood watching and wishing that the snow in the driveway would go away. No matter how hard I wished it would go, it was still there! I needed to get out there and remove it, shovel it away so that we could get in and out of our driveway. In life, things will begin to pile up unless we do something about it. It may be the pile of work papers, or the phone calls we need to make, the texts to a friend or two and if we keep wishing for it to be done, it won't until we get out there and do it. Wishing and doing are both action verbs but one has better results than the other, so let's stop wishing it would happen and start doing it! No matter what the Lord has asked us to do, He will give us the strength to act. Don't wish it away, do it away! peace, tom
