Reflect

In this episode, Liz and the gang learned that God’s Word needs to be both learned and practiced every day.

Have you ever watched an exercise video? What if you sat down on a big, comfortable couch with potato chips, soda, and a bucket of ice cream and just watched the people on the screen move, dance and sweat—even as they encouraged you to get up and do the work? Would you improve your physical strength? Of course not. To be fit requires working out. Sitting on the couch and watching won’t get you too far.

The same idea applies to God's Word. You can memorize scripture, go to Sunday school class, and even read your Bible every day. However, if you don't apply what you learn from God's Word, you won't grow in faith. When you do what God's Word says, you become more like him.

Challenge

Read James 1:22, Micah 6:8 and look over Jesus’s Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 5-7. Write down 5 things God’s Word tells us to do for others.

As a family, choose an act of service to do for people at your school, in your neighborhood, or at your church. Maybe it’s a way to service that you’ve just found in scripture. Maybe it’s something that you’ve always thought about doing or maybe it’s responding to a new need that someone recently told you about.

Listen to God’s Word and just do it!
