"Prevalent"

"Therefore, get rid of... the evil that is so prevalent and humbly accept the word planted in you...."

Tuesday night's bible study was over James' description of the man who looks at his face in a mirror. We talked at length about how he who only listens even has that stolen, if he doesn't also make effort. We lose the knowledge of what we are, because we have given up trying to grow.

The solution: Be humble to the original seed of truth, even though at times it's felt rather like a thorn. Give it a little respect.

Avoid the common and we will find God again.

That word "prevalent" just suits my understanding.

James 1:21
