Life application—that’s what I love about the Bible. This book not just a BOOK, but the spirit of the true and the living God designed to provide life applications that teach lessons for daily living.
I like the one from the book of James that compares the Bible to a mirror. The scenario depicts a person looking into to the mirror, but forgetting what he looks like not making needed adjustments.
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.
James 1:23-24
Think about it. All of us use a mirror. When we get up in the morning there are aspects of our physical appearance that need to be addressed—face needs washing; hair needs combing; teeth need brushing and our apparel must be neat and well-coordinated. We look into the mirror—full length preferably, to make sure that everything is in order.
What about our spiritual well-being? When and how do we check for that? Answers—Everyday and the Bible!
We all have flaws and personal “isms” that require adjustment. The Bible is designed to tell us all about ourselves. Our willingness to surrender to the Bible’s teachings will help us to develop and mature—becoming the best we can be.
Yes, the truth hurts. But in the hand of a Master, pain is a tool designated to produces perfection.
So, in the event your slip is hanging, the Bible will ensure that you have the perfect tools to make the necessary adjustments to be dressed for perfect success.
Challenge:
- Stop lying to yourself (you’re not perfect yet)
- End the denial (you’re not “ALL THAT”)
- The Bible can help
- Read the Bible and make some adjustments
