But whoever looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues in it - not forgetting what they have heard, but doing it - they will be blessed in what they do.
James 1:25 NIV
Welcome to 2019!
For some this is day to resolve to make some changes or commitments.
James is on to it!
NY Resolution:
Look intently into God's Word
This intently means "to stoop to look"
Often I just drive by a place. Look at that beautiful spot, let me Instagram it and move on.
James says slow down.
Stop.
Stoop.
Get closer. Look closely. Have a forage around, see what treasures you can unearth.
Be purposeful. Look with intent for what God has to say about himself, about us, and how we should live
Live it. Do what it says. Not giving up or backing down, not discouraged by stumbles or setbacks, or difficult terrain, but walking with God, trusting Him regardless of my circumstances.
That's the path to freedom and blessing.
That's the path I want to be on in 2019...
