EFFECTIVE DOERS

James 1:25
25 But one who looks intently at the perfect law, the law of liberty, and abides by it, not having become a forgetful hearer but an effectual doer, this man will be blessed in what he does. NASU
** Oh my gosh! I’ve read this scripture a hundred times and it’s so amazing how this jumps out at me. “an EFFECTUAL doer.” Not just a doer of the Word, but a doer that is being effective in what they do! Wow! So, let me get this right. It’s not enough to just hear the word (hear it and read it) and it’s not enough to just do the Word (follow a set pattern just to get things done). Now we need to be EFFECTIVE doers of the Word. This takes time and planning which makes sense, because often times we can get so caught up in just getting the task done for the purpose of just getting the task done. I definitely need to start thinking about what I’m doing so I can be effective while I’m doing everything God has told me to do. Yeah!
