Episode 62 - Be a Doer of the Word

Welcome to Daily Growth Point, I’m Pastor John Bingham.I recently read a story of a woodcutter whose dog was such a good companion that he would follow him anywhere. One morning, he left the animal in a clearing and gave him a command to stay and watch his lunch while he went into the forest. Unfortunately on one particular day, a fire started in the woods, and soon the blaze spread to the spot where the dog had been left. But in perfect obedience, the dog stayed right where he was.This kind of devotion to obedience is a beautiful picture of what God wants from our lives. James says we ought to be doers of the Word and not hearers only. He drives home for us the need to not just know what the Bible says, but to live what we know. What we learn from the Bible ought to be adopted into our lives in total obedience. Let’s choose to be doers of the Word.
