"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." (James 1:25)
William Randolph Hearst once read of an extremely valuable piece of art, which he decided he
must add to his extensive collection. He instructed his agent to scour the galleries of the world to
find the masterpiece he was determined to have at any price. After many months of painstaking
search, the agent reported that the piece already belonged to Mr. Hearst and had been stored in
one of his warehouses for many years.
Christians are often like Mr. Hearst. To enhance their spirituality, they are looking for something new, different, or special when, all the while, it is at their finger tips. All they need to do is avail themselves of what God has already provided for them.
