O Lord, we really long for You from within, and we know that Your word is Your very Self, Your word is Your expression, and Your word is Your reaching us. We truly regard this.
Therefore putting away all filthiness and the abundance of malice, receive in meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.
James 1:25
But he who looks into the perfect law, the law of freedom, and continues in it, becoming not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one will be blessed in his doing.

This likens the word of God to a (living) plant that is planted into our being and (grows) in us to bring forth fruit for the salvation of our souls. We need to receive such a word in meekness, in all (submission), without any resistance. (See James 1:21 note 1)
