The word of God is a Mirror: (inspired by James 1:23-24)

The word of God is like a mirror, the mirror is used to see if all is in order and to spot mistakes. When you use the mirror,you take time to carefully see if your hair is combed or your face is ok. The mirror assures you that all is in order.

That is the same with the word of God, we use it to introspect our ways and see if we still walking in line with God’s commandments. The word of God corrects, rebukes, corrects, disciplines and gives life.

It guides and   directs us on the path we have to take. As much as the mirror is an important part of our  everyday lives, the word of God is life, when you are in trouble it calms you and instructs  you to have faith in God.

When you use a mirror, it helps you to spot mistakes which others will notice but not yourself. The word of God points at mistakes we do not notice. We may think we are walking according to the word of God only to find the  are certain things we have done wrong but if we look carefully into the word of God, it helps us to spot the mistakes we have done without us noticing.

The mirror doesn’t judge how you look but helps you fix mistakes. All people are welcomed to use it; the word of God does not judge us but helps us fix our mistakes. Everyone is welcomed to study the word of God.

Ladies spent a lot of time in front of the mirror putting on make up and making sure they look good. The more time they spend in front of the mirror the more their confidence builds up, it helps them to pay attention to details.

This also applies to the word of God, you need to spend a lot of time on the word of God, it will give you a direction. The more time you spend on the word of God the more peace you will have and your life will change. You will be able to face storms, rejoice in pain and be comforted in times of distress, while other people will panic during trials and tribulations; you will rejoice giving God the Glory and thanking him to for the blessings after passing tribulations.

Spending  time on the word of God will increase  the favour of God in your life. You will know how God operates, what he loves and hates. You will be closer to God and believe what he says, through the word of God, you will see that it is God breathed and  gives life. Your faith will be strengthened.  It resurrects even those who had gave up.

As much as ladies spent more time in front of the mirror than when they bath, also spend time on the word Of God. After using the mirror, you look once again to see if all is in order and if you look the way you wanted, after getting the satisfaction you wanted, you are ready to face the word. Even when people compliment you, you will reply with a smile knowing that you first looked at the mirror and what people are complimenting you for is what you already know.

This applies to the word of God. When people see the favour of God in your life, you will rejoice because you already know where the source of your happiness comes from. When they shower you with praise  complimenting you, you will be rest assured that the word of God complimented you first and what people say will be in agreement with it.

The word of God is important for guidance . As long as we are alive, we need it as it completes us. It comforts us in times of trouble, it is a mirror for our lives. We need to look at it to introspect our lives. Study and meditate upon it. It will change your life.
