But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.
James 1:22, ESV
Tomorrow we gather.
This week we walked James 1:13-27 together. The Father who doesn’t turn. The mirror that shows you who you are. The way to stay. Three movements. Three short imperatives.
Look up. Look in. Stay there.
Bring the verse you carried this week. Bring the moment you remembered to look up Tuesday afternoon when the headline hit. Bring the Wednesday morning when you opened the Word like a mirror and saw something true. Bring whatever you couldn’t quite do yet.
And bring this:
The Father doesn’t change. Don’t let Monday change you.
On June 7 we open James 2. We move from formation to expression. From the new face in the mirror to the way that face treats other people. The Royal Law. Love your neighbor as yourself.
You are not scattered tomorrow. You are the gathered church, learning to walk this road as one body.
Don’t come to be entertained. Come to be formed.
Today: Pray for one person you will see tomorrow. Pray they show up. Pray Jesus meets them where they are. And pray the verse you carried this week becomes a piece of who you are.
