James urges his readers to not just listen to the Word, but to act on it. Regularly reading and actively responding to God's word is a critical part of spiritual growth. In order to maintain a habit of effective time in scripture, Christians should talk to God about what they are reading, let Him know they want to hear from Him, and ask what they can do that day. Other helpful tips are to have a plan for reading, setting aside a time and quiet place each day, and ignoring the lie that it's hopeless.
