It is said that Abraham Lincoln, when he was president of the U.S., was advised to include a certain man in his cabinet. When he refused, he was asked why he would not accept him. “I don’t like his face,” the president replied.
“But the poor man isn’t responsible for his face,” responded the man’s advocate.
“Every man over forty is responsible for his face,” countered Lincoln.
Take a look at your face:
James 1:22-25
But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. For if anyone is a hearer of the Word and not a doer, he is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror; for he observes himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was. But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one will be blessed in what he does.
What do you see? Give it some thought.
