Day 77-83

READ: Hebrews, James 1-2

CONSIDER:

James 1:22-24 "Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like a man who looks at his face in a mirror and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like."

Reading the Bible will not bring you closer to God or make you more righteous. Doing what it says on the other hand is a different story. Don't be readers or listeners but doers!

Day 72-76

Day 71

READ: 1 Timothy 1-3

CONSIDER: Sometimes in our Christian circles we talk about what should be changed, or what is wrong with other people and start controversies. Paul tells Timothy near the beginning of chapter 1 to stop talking about meaningless things but rather show love and faith. Because in the end, that is what really matters and that is what really changes lives.

ACT: How are your conversations today? Does it consist of gossip and controversy? Do you find yourself judging people more than anything else? Instead, what if you spent your time talking about loving others despite everything and took steps to show them? What would make the most impact? Talking about their faults or loving them regardless?
