22But don’t just listen to God’s word. You must do what it says. Otherwise, you are only fooling yourselves. 23For if you listen to the word and don’t obey, it is like glancing at your face in a mirror. 24You see yourself, walk away, and forget what you look like. 25But if you look carefully into the perfect law that sets you free, and if you do what it says and don’t forget what you heard, then God will bless you for doing it.  James 1:22-25 (NLT)

God’s Word is like a perfect mirror and a place where we can go to get an honest look at ourselves.  But we must daily look into that perfect mirror and circumspectly consider the refection that is looking back at us.  Not because of the law, not because of tradition or even because it sounds like a good thing to do; but because of our need to be more like Him. The more we see ourselves as we are, the more God can change us to be a better reflection of Him.

Have you checked the mirror today?
