The Mirror of Faith: Reflecting Spiritual Growth
Every morning, as we stand before the bathroom mirror, we engage in a familiar ritual. We groom ourselves, check for any imperfections, and make the necessary adjustments before stepping out to face the day. This daily routine provides a powerful metaphor found in the book of James, where the law of God is compared to a mirror—something we should regularly reflect upon. Just as a mirror reveals our physical flaws, the law of God exposes our spiritual shortcomings and areas in need of correction.
James addresses those who profess faith yet neglect to live by God's commands, likening them to people who look in a mirror and immediately forget their reflection. This forgetfulness is a stark reminder that merely hearing God's word without applying it renders our faith ineffective. True faith demands action; it requires us to be doers of the word, not just hearers.

A little one shall become a thousand,
and a small one a strong nation:
I the Lord will hasten it in his time.
