James 1:22-25
Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like a man who looks at his face in a mirror and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. But the man who looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues to do this, not forgetting what he has heard, but doing it—he will be blessed in what he does.

Spirituality aside, I'm a much better talker than do-er. At the beginning of each day, I have detailed plans for how I plan to use my free time, whether it be to run or to study or something else. Very rarely do my plans ever become reality. I'm a pretty lazy person with a lack of self-discipline. Now put that in the context of my walk with Christ. Very often, I hear the word of God, store it in my head, and move on with my life. I say that I desire to walk with Christ yet my actions don't reflect this. I let convictions pass on by because acting upon them would be too uncomfortable. I've tried and tried to change this on my own only to fall back down to where I started. But as I read yesterday, God answers our prayers when we come to Him in faith. I think it's time that I depend on God's transforming power rather than my own.
