God’s blessing comes as a result of our obedience

[pioneer]

by Cindy Hess Kasper, Our Daily Bread

Just after we moved to a house in a new neighborhood, we invited my sister-in-law and her husband over for Sunday dinner. As we were greeting Sue and Ted at the door, an odd noise directed their eyes toward the kitchen. As I followed their gaze, I froze in horror. An errant hose of our old portable dishwasher was whipping about like the trunk of an angry elephant, spewing water everywhere!

Sue went into action mode. Dropping her purse, she was in the kitchen before me, shutting off the water and calling for towels and a mop. We spent the first 15 minutes of their visit on our knees mopping the floor.

Sue is a doerâ€"and the world is a better place because of the doers of the world. These are the people who are always ready to pitch in, to be involved, and even to lead if necessary.

Many of the doers of the world are also doers of the Word. These are the followers of Jesus who have taken the challenge of James to heart: “Be doers of the Word, and not hearers only” (1:22).

Are you doing all that you know God wants you to do? As you read God’s Word, put what you’ve learned into practice. First hearâ€"then do. God’s blessing comes as a result of our obedience (v.25).

We need to hear the Word of God
To know what we should do,
But listening is not enough
Without our follow-through. â€"Sper

The value of the Bible does not consist merely in knowing it, but in obeying it.

That's the reason why we have missionaries all over the world
    they are doers of what they believed.

The churches here have to pitch in and raise funds so the word of
  God, the gospel of salvation, will be spread to those who are willing
  to hear and get saved.

Being a Christian is not what  you said you are but to believe what you heard,
   obey and act upon it.

If you really love the Lord, you talk about Him as the object of your love.

I'd rather say that as more on submission to God's plan and trusting Him in his ways for our lives.

Trusting more and fearing less.
