Day 13: Wednesday, February 2

Scripture Passage: James 1:22-24 NKJV

"Therefore lay aside all filthiness and overflow of wickedness, and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls. But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror; for he observes himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was." - Jam 1:22-24 NKJV

My Observation:
I am supposed to do what the Word of God says and not just read it as if it was a non-fiction story.

My Application:
If I call myself a believer of Christ, I am supposed to keep my mind and heart available to His teachings. A "teachable spirit" is a spirit walking in obedience.

Day12: Tuesday, February 1

Scripture Passage: James 1:21 NKJV

"Therefore lay aside all filthiness and overflow of wickedness, and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls." - Jam 1:21 NKJV

Word review: implanted - to put or fix firmly: to implant sound principles in a child's mind. (Dictionary.com)

My Observation:
I am to make a total transformation, an altercation that has a permanent mar or turn in my behavior.

My Application:
I need to let Gods word form a new root. Put aside all stupidity, things that don't matter, wrong doing, etc. and take on the word as if it was a "boob job". Literally, an implanted will.

My Prayer:
Lord, I command Your word to take and implant a root in my heart. Change my very being to function as if I was Your robot.
