Keep Looking
But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty,
and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful
hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be
blessed in his deed (James 1:25)
The Word of God is a mirror. The Bible says,
“But we all, with open face beholding as in
a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the
same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit
of the Lord” (2 Corinthians 3:18). When we look into
the mirror of God, we see ourselves. We see the glory
of God. The natural mirror portrays earthly reflections,
but God’s mirror, His Word, is the perfect mirror that
shows you who you are and exactly how God sees
you.
The more you look into the mirror of God,
the more you’re changed to become what you
see. So, keep looking, because as you look, you’re
metamorphosed; your life becomes increasingly
excellent. But if you take your eyes away, you’d live
a confused life because you’re looking at the wrong
thing. Our opening verse says, “But whoso looketh
into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein,
he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work,
this man shall be blessed in his deed.”
James 1:22 says, “But be ye doers of the word,
and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.” If
you’re a doer of the Word, when you look into God’s
mirror, you don’t forget who you are. The one who
doesn’t do the Word has an identity crisis.
No matter the challenges you face and the troubles
that may come your way, stick to the Word. Always
remember what the Word says about you: you’re more
than a conqueror; greater is He that’s in you than he
that’s in the world. Maintain this consciousness.
Prayer
Dear Father, I thank you for your Word transforms me from glory
to glory, and instills in me the mindset of the just. I’m a doer of
the Word, and not a hearer only. Therefore, I’m blessed evermore,
living transcendently over and above sickness, disease, Satan
and circumstances, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
