The Truth from God's Word

Devotional for May 24, 2011

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.
If any man among you seems to be religious,
and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart,
this man's religion is vain. Pure religion and undefiled
before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless

and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself
unspotted from the world.

James 1:25-27

_________________________________________________________

In essence, James describes a person who sees the truth from God's Word and responds by using it. He sees himself as an instrument of God to be used, even spent, in service to Him and His people. He holds the feelings and well being of others to be as important as his own. Unlike the myopic person, he sees beyond his comfort zone, following the example of Jesus Christ
