Day 22

It's incredible how every verse is sent to us in the way that we need it or can apply it to our personal lives! Today's devotion catches me a couple of days past the halfway point, and God hasn't disappointed. Even on the roughest of days...God has shown Himself in my life. For example, today I was encouraged by multiple acquaintances randomly :) I realized then how much being a doer of the word can impact our world. My world. My plans for tonight? Ridgecrest, Stars, Barnes and Noble, laughing, living, loving. Maybe not in that order... Meanwhile, I hope the devotion is for you as well :D


Read James 1:22-25

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. But the man who looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues to do this, not forgetting what he has heard, but doing it—he will be blessed in what he does.
