Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says.
Most of us try to live by the old proverb: "The proof of the pudding is in the eating." Well, the proof of biblical wisdom and understanding is in the living. Knowing the truth doesn't mean much; living the truth is everything. Jesus said that knowing the truth and not living it makes us foolish and brings destruction on ourselves and our efforts (Matthew 7:21-27). No wonder that James, Jesus' brother, made Jesus' point very clear: we must obey what we know to be the truth, or we deceive and destroy ourselves!
O LORD God, please empower me with your Spirit as I seek to not only "practice what I preach," but also show my obedience to your will and live consistently to honor and obey you in my daily life. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ, my LORD, and ask for the Spirit's help to be an authentic disciple of my Savior who doesn't just listen to his words, but I do what they say. Amen.

Come and share your master's happiness!' "
We want it all now! Or, at least most of us do. We don't want to have to wait for anything. But God has a vital principle: he will only entrust us with much only after we have been faithful with a little. Patience is not just a virtue important to God; patience is a necessity to be faithful to God as he fashions us for greater service! So let's not discount our moral choices about "small and inconsequential matters." How we handle those kinds of things as we patiently "wait for the blessed hope — the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ" (Titus 3:13) is essential. How we handle these during our times of waiting reveals who we are and often determines who we become.
Holy and Righteous Father, please give me wisdom to discern the way of faithfulness and righteousness in all my dealings. I want to demonstrate proper patience as I am faithful in the small things, so that you can also entrust me with your larger things that matter more to the Kingdom. Please purify my heart and use my gifts and actions to bring you glory, both now in my times of waiting and later when I experience the full measure of your plans for me. In Jesus' name, I ask this. Amen.

I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me.
Few things are more precious than knowing that on the night he was betrayed, Jesus not only prayed for his first disciples, but also for us who have come to believe because of their testimony! So often, we read the words of John 17:1-26 and study them as a prayer for Jesus' apostles in the upper room. However, if we examine this prayer closely, we see that Jesus also prays for us, for you and me, who believe in Jesus because of the apostles' message. He knew us, looked forward to us being his disciples, and prayed for us on the night he was betrayed. And, dear friend of the Savior, the LORD wants us to be one! He wants us to live with the same unity, purpose, and character of God that he, as the Son, did. If we do not live and love in unity, then how will the world know that God sent his Son? Notice how Jesus ties our unity to the world, knowing the Father sent him — John 17:21, 23. How will they know what to believe? How will they find Jesus as their Savior? We must be one!
Father, forgive us, change us, and help us see what is most important in our lives as your disciples. Break down the barriers that divide us into different religious groups and help us find unity around the One who matters most to all of us, Jesus. It is in his name that we pray for us to be one, just as our Savior prayed on the night he was betrayed. Amen.
