DAY 320
Be Doers, Not Only Hearers
기원후 1세기
ORIGINAL
γίνεσθε δὲ ποιηταὶ λόγου καὶ μὴ μόνον ἀκροαταὶ παραλογιζόμενοι ἑαυτούς.
📜 THE VERSE
Be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.
❓ TODAY'S QUESTION
Do I nod at good words, then go on living exactly as before?
📝Reflection
James calls mere hearing "deceiving yourselves." Hearing a good word gives the illusion we already live by it. I too have read countless wise sayings and been moved—but being moved is not doing. The Greek poietes means both poet and "maker." Be not one who knows but one who makes. Wisdom becomes ours not the moment it piles up in the head, but the moment it moves into hand and foot.
