The inspection of the mirror
"And remember it is a message to obey and not just to listen to. If you dont obey you are only fooling around. For if you just listen and dont obey, it is like looking at your face in a mirror but doing nothing to improve your appearance. You see yourself, walk away and forget what you look like."
James 1:22-24
James like using little proverbs such as this one looking in the mirror but not doing anything to change your appearance. This couple of verses help us to unpack what the previous verse has said. It is also gives us a bit of a break by using an everyday experence to get the point accross.
Change has to happen and the questions we often ask:
What do I look like?
Having observed, how can I change to this or that?
Prayer: Lord we pray that you change us to reflect you more and more as we await your second coming.
