```James 1:22-25 NKJV But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror; for he observes himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was. But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one will be blessed in what he does.

COMMENTARY
This same words that we hear and ignore are same words that God used to create the world. The word of God has a creative, transformative and even miraculous force inherent in it. Every word that proceeds from God has a potential to achieve something. _Isaiah 55:11 NKJV
So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it._
What do you think would happen when you actively engage the word of God in everything you do? To me it's quiet discomforting to be obedient. Even our natural parents' guidances come with some sacrifices. Sometimes your parents can compel you to cancel your scheduled journey. They can influence your choices and take a decision on what you must not do and so on. Our natural parents create boundaries of which we obey.
Do you think our parents' guidances were to cheated us? Whenever the word of God is coming, some people feel cheated. That God is coming with instructions to deprive them their choices and freedom. To deprive them pleasures and enjoyment. They feel bad about the word of God without asking themselves "what does God want to achieve in me with His words?" _Jeremiah 29:11 NKJV For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope._
Food for thought:
But He said, “More than that, blessed are those who hear the word of God and keep it!”
(Luke 11:28 NKJV)_
Prayer:
```Lord guide me with wisdom to foresee and understand that your plans for me are good always. Grant me the heart of obedience in Jesus name.```
