In today’s daily word we continue in the Book of James chapter 1, where we are taught the importance of listening and obeying the Word of God. As believers, we must humble ourselves and get rid of all anger, wrath, bitterness, unforgiveness and everything in our lives that do not line up according to God’s Holy Word.
When we do accept and begin to walk in the holiness of God’s word, then we can receive the blessings and favor of God. Be encouraged today saints of The Most High for God is with you.

Listening and Obeying
My dear brothers and sisters, always be more willing to listen than to speak. Keep control of your anger. Anger does not help you live the way God wants. So get rid of everything evil in your lives—every kind of wrong you do. Be humble and accept God’s teaching that is planted in your hearts. This teaching can save you.
Do what God’s teaching says; don’t just listen and do nothing. When you only sit and listen, you are fooling yourselves. Hearing God’s teaching and doing nothing is like looking at your face in the mirror and doing nothing about what you saw. You go away and immediately forget how bad you looked. But when you look into God’s perfect law that sets people free, pay attention to it. If you do what it says, you will have God’s blessing. Never just listen to his teaching and forget what you heard.
The True Way to Worship God
You might think you are a very religious person. But if your tongue is out of control, you are fooling yourself. Your careless talk makes your offerings to God worthless. The worship that God wants is this: caring for orphans or widows who need help and keeping yourself free from the world’s evil influence. This is the kind of worship that God accepts as pure and good.
