There are many reminders in the Bible to the effect that when we read God’s words we are expected to put them into practice. In this verse there is a blessing promised to the one who pays attention to what God says. It is a blessing for the one who does not forget that he or she hears or reads but who does it, who puts it into practice in daily living. So whenever or wherever we hear God’s Word let’s remember that God expects us to appropriate what we hear, making it a part of our lives.

“But whoever looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues in it—not forgetting what they have heard, but doing it—they will be blessed in what they do.” James 1:25 (NIV)
