MIRROR, MIRROR…

22 Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it 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. - James 1: 22-24 NIV

A mirror does not create images on its own, but rather reflects whatever is projected onto it. If I were to stand in front of a mirror I would see MY reflection in that mirror, that’s pretty straight forward, isn't it?!

Now, if I want to see myself the way I really am in Christ, I must look into the Word of God, for it is our mirror. The Word of God reflects back to us who we are in Christ and once we know who we are we will be able to conduct ourselves accordingly. Let us endeavor to see ourselves the way we truly are in God’s sight through His Word which is our perfect mirror.

The enemy doesn't want us to see ourselves the way we truly are in Christ for He knows if we do, he will be powerless to stop us from fulfilling our destinies in God. He will attempt to get us to look at our performance, our surroundings, our failures and everything else but the Word of God, but we are not ignorant of his devices.    

As you look into this "Mirror" some of the things you will see about yourself in Christ are these: - You are a new creation in Christ, you are the Lord's

May the Holy Spirit continue to remind us of who we are in Christ as we keep on looking into this blessed Mirror everyday!
