James 4:17 (ESV)
“So whoever knows the right thing to do and fails to do it, for him it is sin.”
During a season of difficulty, my accountability partner shared this verse with me. It really hit home. This verse helps us to know when the Holy Spirit is telling us to do something in our hearts, and we don’t do it, it becomes a sin to us.
Now that I know this verse by memory, I am more aware of the Holy Spirit’s presence in my life. This verse is just another illustration of how alive God’s word is to us and how important it is to hide God’s word in our hearts.
“The Bible is not an end in itself, but a means to bring men to an intimate and satisfying knowledge of God, that they may enter into Him, that they may delight in His Presence, may taste and know the inner sweetness of the very God Himself in the core and center of their hearts.” – A.W. Tozer
