We are concerned with our physical appearances today, and mirrors are hung everywhere to help us check ourselves. Over 90% of ladies carry mirrors in their purses. There is always a 100% response to fix whatever the mirror reveals is wrong. When everything is perfect, we smile and walk away from the mirror with confidence and a good feeling about ourselves. The Bible, like the mirror, helps us see the inside of us. But unlike our 100% response to fix physical appearances, we look into God’s mirror, the Word, and walk away thinking we will fix it later. “Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like (Jam. 1:22-24). If it is a foolish move to look in the mirror and see ketchup on your chin and refuse to clean it and walk out into the public, it is an unwise move to ignore God’s word by not doing whatever it reveals to us.
