Looking to the mirror is the one thing not neglect by man especially of women . Imagine the appearance of a person who have used once in his lifetime to look into the mirror? Without looking to the mirror we can actually see our dress if it is neat and clean. But if we do not use mirror to see our own face how can we tell the look of our hair and our face especially the eye, maybe there is a mote or speck which may plank at anytime.
Mirror is invaluable tool needed anytime especially to women. Women will not leave home without first thoroughly looking their self to the mirror. Through that mirror she can clearly see if the make-up, lipstick and hairstyle are fair and nice looking. So it is with men, where actually in his childhood he did not regard to look in the mirror and he doesn’t care what he looks like. While in his puberty conspicuous attention to the long presence in front of the mirror becomes frequent. He look meticulously if he has prim hair and smooth face. But turn very anxious if he see a pimple grows big in the nose.
Likened to a mirror, the Law which is the Ten Commandments is also a mirror:
For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass(mirror NIV): For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed. (Jas 1:23-25)
Take heed, if in our daily routines and activities we neglect to use the mirror of the Ten Commandments which the bible called them the "perfect law of liberty", many dirt (sin) we not aware of will pile up . Sins that dwell and will again root in deeply in the whole being shall manifest. Sins that should be hated was repeated again and again and becomes recurrent.
Because of neglecting the mirror of the Law, many who claimed Christians turn out to be carnal Christians until they become entangle by the sin that becomes alive again in the members of the body:
Eye- Lust of the eyes
Hand- Lust of the flesh
Tongue- Lying and Boasting
The Bible define exactly what sin is, "Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. (1Jn 3:4)
Do you want freedom from the sin you do repeatedly and always struggle? Freedom form the sin “I hate to do but I do”? Use the mirror of the Ten Commandments which is the Law Jesus said, "I Now tell you". Use that mirror before you leave your home, before you sleep, when you are walking or running, on the road, in restaurants and in all places at anytime and in any given situation.
Do not neglect and disregard that important tool (the mirror of the Law – the Law "Now") carry it day and night. And make all effort to surpass them.
