The Happiness of Obedience to Jesus - James 1:22-25

God is most glorified and we are most happy when the redeemed authentically understand and adopt the life-giving instruction and rule of Christ.  How many of our life challenges can be traced back to bad listening habits on our part where we look diligently at God’s words to understand them but do not then work dillently to believe and obey them… forfeiting even our own happiness (“being blessed in the doing”).
