Join me, Alison Elizabeth as we read out of James 1:23-24 which says "23 Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror 24 and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like."

"We all struggle with new habits. I know. I am one of you. We are all human and we have our ways. It’s impossible for me to work out every single day, it’s just not a habit of mine. So why is applying new habits so hard for us?

 

Well the answer to that is simple, habits are formed from our behaviors, and our behaviors are a result of our identity. If you don’t identify as an early bird, your body will always fight your alarm.

 

Can the same be said about applying scripture to your daily life?

 

I want to say yes. I know that when you habitually surround yourself with people who don’t act the way you want to act after reading scripture, it’s almost impossible to change.

 

It’s almost like living two lives. Which is what this verse is saying. It’s like looking in a mirror and completely forgetting what you look like."
