The Doers Of The World

July 11, 2010

Just after we moved to a house in a new neighborhood, we invited my sister-in-law and her husband over for Sunday dinner. As we were greeting Sue and Ted at the door, an odd noise directed their eyes toward the kitchen. As I followed their gaze, I froze in horror. An errant hose of our old portable dishwasher was whipping about like the trunk of an angry elephant, spewing water everywhere!

Sue went into action mode. Dropping her purse, she was in the kitchen before me, shutting off the water and calling for towels and a mop. We spent the first 15 minutes of their visit on our knees mopping the floor.

Sue is a doer—and the world is a better place because of the doers of the world. These are the people who are always ready to pitch in, to be involved, and even to lead if necessary.

Many of the doers of the world are also doers of the Word. These are the followers of Jesus who have taken the challenge of James to heart: “Be doers of the Word, and not hearers only” (1:22).

Are you doing all that you know God wants you to do? As you read God’s Word, put what you’ve learned into practice. First hear—then do. God’s blessing comes as a result of our obedience (v.25).

We need to hear the Word of God
To know what we should do,
But listening is not enough
Without our follow-through. —Sper

The value of the Bible does not consist merely in knowing it, but in obeying it.

Read: James 1:19-27

Be doers of the Word, and not hearers only. —James 1:22

Bible in a year:
Psalms 1–3 & Acts 17:1-15

Good Sunday Morning,

"We need to hear the Word of God
To know what we should do,
But listening is not enough
Without our follow-through. —Sper"

Thank you for this thoughtful Word. I hope all is going
well with you..
Wishing you a blessed Lord's Day

[The Mayor]

Good morning Meg! Been very busy with the governors race traveling across the state. All’s good.

[jaycee]

Meg, did you see “my question” at 720??

Thanks!

[MEG33]

Good! Glad to hear it!

[MEG33]

Good Sunday Morning

Thank you for your sweet compliments
I do not see a question but .I have no idea why you can't see
Dolly's pretty gazebo.
Wishing you a blessed Lord's Day

[yorkie]

I can see Dolly's gazebo and scripture, and The Mayor's inspiring message and post, Meg's lovely framed graphics, and your post. Hope there is nothing wrong with your new monitor!

[MEG33]

Good Sunday Morning,

Thank you for the nice compliments..
Glad you can see everything!
Wishing you a lovely Lord's Day

[yorkie]

The Light of God Surrounds me
The Love of God Enfolds me
The Power of God protects me
The Presence of God watches over me
Wherever I am, God Is

[MEG33]

Beautiful, wonderful words with a beautifule scene! Thank you yorkie!

[yorkie]

Thank you, Meg!
I hope it's ok to post one more that spoke to me this morning....

I have no idea where I am going
I do not see the road ahead of me.
I cannot know for certain where it will end.
Nor do I really know myself,
And the fact that I think I am following
your will does not mean that I am actually doing so.
But I believe that the desire to please you does in fact please you.
And I hope that I have that desire in all that I am doing.
And I know that if I do this, you will lead me by the right road
though I may know nothing about it.
Therefore will I trust you always though I may seem to be lost
and in the shadow of death, I will not fear,
for you are ever with me
and you will never leave me to face my perils alone.
Thomas Merton

Oh my yes..Post as many as you like..I love this!

Beautiful perfect graphic, too.

[jaycee]

Oh my, post 732 will be removed! See what happens when I quit framing for a while...LOL! When my monitor was bad, I just stopped everything but the little black border!

[jaycee]

Sounds great, Rus!

Thank you for our daily bread message this morning, ALSO!!

[jaycee]

No, yorkie, Everything is there and just gorgeous color.....I just didn’t get Dolly’s graphic. That I can’t understand!!

[MEG33]

Beautiful graphic, jaycee, and wonderful words of comfort.
Thank you for sharing this and the lovely scripture.

P.S.Sometimes I reset my IP address by unplugging and replugging in my computer when certain graphics won’t show.
I could neither access photobucket, tinypic nor see their graphics one time. Called my cable tech...He suggested it.

[jaycee]

AMEN! Lovely graphic and the beautiful words are soooo TRUE!

[jaycee]

Very lovely! Wonderful words by Thomas Merton. That describes all of us on our roads in life.
