Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger...But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.
James 1:19 and 22 ESV Application: We should spend some of the energy we waste "talking about" what we're going to do, and invest that talk energy into action. Let's not trick ourselves into thinking we’ve done something when we haven’t (everyone else will see through us, anyway!). Accomplish something. Maybe just a little thing every day, but at the end of every single day on earth, we should point to how we improved on something. Maybe it'll be us. Maybe the world around us. No matter what we improve, if we make the effort, God's Spirit will kick in and see us to victory. But we have to choose to act each day. Prayer: Father, we choose to do Your Word, not just speak of grand plans that never materialize. We pray for Your Holy Spirit to guide us, protect us, and encourage us every day. Amen.
