Truly, if we would look into the mirror of God's Word every day instead of looking at ourself through the five physical senses and through natural circumstances I am sure we would look like, sound like, and act just like Christ. I have written an article, Bible Scriptures Mirror Prosperity On You on my website, godswordalive.com and also a blog on the same only condensed. God richly bless you, your family and your ministry.

I dunno! You're now in my Google Reader. And, thank you for the thoughtful post on James, one of my favorite books. When reading that passage I always thought it compelling that when we view our likeness in a mirror we walk away and quickly forget the truth about ourselves. Self-examination produces nothing. But, examination of God's Word, "the perfect law that gives freedom" has the opposite result. If we: 1. Study the Word (looks intently into the perfect law) 2. Keep studying the Word (continues to do this) 3. Remember the Word (not forgetting what he has heard) 4. Do what the Word says (but doing it) 5. Blessing (he will be blessed in what he does) Why have I never read your blog? I dunno! You’re now in my Google Reader. And, thank you for the thoughtful post on James, one of my favorite books.

The mirror is such a great analogy, because God's Word gives us a true picture of ourselves. Yet, unlike a physical mirror, we are so prone to ignore what we see there, or not even look intently. I also appreciated your comment about opening our Bibles looking for something to do. If I close the Word and have no response to it, if it makes no impact in my life, it isn't very profitable. I'll be praying for you and your food planning! Love the title! The mirror is such a great analogy, because God’s Word gives us a true picture of ourselves.

After reading yours, I updated my post with a link to your post. Your conviction regarding the spiritual laziness that paralyzes our action for the kingdom is poignant in considering personal sin. He does indeed pierce through our excuses to the sorting of wheat and chaff. Great post, Christa. And Godspeed on all that cooking for a crowd.
