Let me pray about it . . .

Let me pray about it . . .

James 1: 22
But BE DOERS OF THE WORD [obey God’s message of Truth],

and NOT MERELY LISTENERS [spectators] TO IT,

DECEIVING [betraying, misleading, cheating] YOURSELVES [by reasoning yourself into a way of thinking contrary to the Truth].
---------------------------

Pray the Word:
Lord, at times, we seem to imagine that we have done all that is demanded when we have listened attentively the Word preached or faithfully read our Bible;  yet of its influence on our lives [as it will tell us plainly what we are and what we should be doing] - we have been reluctant to obey parts of it and have, inadvertently, deceived ourselves by falling back on the age-old CRUTCH OF DELAY saying, ‘LET ME PRAY ABOUT IT’; only to realize that when we read or hear it again, it says the same thing!

Thank you for reading my blog of thoughts, encouragement and instructions the Lord speaks about to me. It is simply my therapy to write down these things as I walk my journey out with Him. I would love to hear back from you. Each new day is a blessing! Dorothy
