Are You A Doer, Or A Hearer Only?

Being a doer of God’s word is much more than a mental assent. Our hearts must be in it to get the Lord’s attention. He responds to our faith not our intellect. He doesn’t even respond to our tears, but He does collect them (Psalms 56:8). Moving the hand of God requires believing without seeing, or touching, or tasting. We are to simply trust every word in the bible is God’s own Spirit breathed words of revelation about Himself, and the way He does things in dealing with mankind. Better understanding is available to those that don’t get why God allows babies or “good people” to die too soon, etc. We are the Lord’s wise men and women when we build the foundation of our lives on Kingdom principles. Since the word of God is conditional, we must first have an understanding of His word. Then we practice using His word in our everyday lives. Believe God for a close parking space, or trust Him for a situation that’s not going to be comfortable to help you get through it. Small victories in faith believing, are the beginning of great exploits for the Lord. Therefore everyone who hears these words of God, and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on a rock.
