GOD’S WORD AS MIRROR
MEMORY VERSE: “For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass” (JAMES 1:23).
In summarizing Soren Kierkegaard’s perception, Steve Evans explains that, “The fundamental purpose of God’s Word is to give us true self-knowledge; it is a real mirror, and when we look at ourselves properly in it, we see ourselves as God wants us to see ourselves.” We use mirrors to assess ourselves every morning and make necessary adjustment to our appearance. While the mirror reflects us on the outside, God’s Word reflects us on the inside.

When we read or listen to God’s Word, we should check ourselves if there are sins to confess, examples to follow, instructions to obey, promises to claim, blunders to avoid or habits to change. Then we allow God to realign our hearts with His. You see, the Word of God is a mirror that the Holy Spirit uses to allow us to see ourselves as we really are. This view is how God sees us.
Mirroring your life with God’s Word comes with great blessings such as freedom from sin, Satan and his afflictions. Hearing God’s Word and rejecting it leads to self-deception and eternal doom.
QUOTE: God’s Word reflects us on the inside.
CHALLENGE: Go beyond hearing the Word, practice it!
PRAYER: Dear Jesus, show me how to look more like you
