BE A DOER OF THE WORD TOO
I love
Reading the BIBLE=
I love PRAYING every day
But it is NOT ENOUGH
To read about
The word of God=
We must be doers
Of the WORD TOO
LOVE=forgive=and
BE KIND=do this
Every day=in your life
“Blessed are those
Who hear the
WORD OF GOD
And OBSERVE IT” Luke 11:28
How OFTEN have you heard
A MESSAGE in church--------
About being BETER PEOPLE
About how we can
SERVE MORE-pray more-forgive more-
And nodded your head IN AGREEMENT?
And you think=isn't he
Or she wonderful?
And then you are not gone
Five minutes=and you
Are FALLING INTO
The same pattern of behavior
As before
LISTEN to the word of GOD=
Read the word of God=
But be
DOERS of the word too!
Observe and ACT ON
THE WORD OF GOD
“........so that all people
May know of your
MIGHTY ACTS=
And the glorious splendor
Of your kingdom” Psalm 145:12
“Praise him
For his ACTS of power=
Praise him
For his surpassing greatness” Psalm 150:2
“For the WORD of God
Is alive and ACTIVE-
Sharper than any
Double-edged sword=
It penetrates even to
Dividing soul and spirit
Joints and marrow-
It judges the thoughts
And attitudes of the heart” Hebrews 4:12
BE DOERS=be active with
The word of God=
Live it=live
The WORD OF GOD
In today's gospel
Jesus reminds us
That the messenger
Is NOT as important
As the MESSAGE
He says to be
DOERS of the word
And let yourself
BE TRANSFORMED by his word
“Consequently faith comes
From hearing the MESSAGE
And the MESSAGE
Is heard
Through the WORD ABOUT CHRIST” Romans 10:17
BE A DOER-
Of the word of God
I WONDER what our world
Would look like=
If we all became
DOERS OF GOD'S LIVING WORD!
In Jesus' name=and in the MESSAGE from GOD=our HOLY LIVING-LOVING FATHER!
