James 1 and 2 - Put it in your heart !

Wow, Wow, Wow !!!

Because of God, I had a Peaceful day ! The enemy threw something at me, and God gave me the strength to ignore and not over react. I would like to think that nothing worse can happen in my life. That's would be to easy. The storms I have been through better prepare me to handle what else comes up against me. I have to stay encouraged and keep my head up. God has not worked in my life for me to sit back be angry and shut down. No, he wants me to be fruitful, to grow and to bring others to Christ through my testimony.

I have to stay obedient and be lead by God and do His will. Even when it is not comfortable, even when I feel like I can handle it. I can't :) I have to give it to God. I have made up my mind to live by this, to live in purpose doing God's will. The enemy wants me to prevent me from kingdom building. God has been too good to me to turn my back in disbelief. I have a sense of loyalty and I want to serve GOD until I die.

The Book of James ministers to me.

Trials and Temptations

²Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, ³because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. ⁴Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. ⁵If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him. ⁶But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. ⁷That man should not think he will receive anything from the Lord; ⁸he is a double-minded man, unstable in all he does.

⁹The brother in humble circumstances ought to take pride in his high position. ¹⁰But the one who is rich should take pride in his low position, because he will pass away like a wild flower. ¹¹For the sun rises with scorching heat and withers the plant; its blossom falls and its beauty is destroyed. In the same way, the rich man will fade away even while he goes about his business.

¹²Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him.

----------- God's word is true ! I have to hold on to the word of God, and trust that God will fulfill His promise. Consider it Joy, yes Lord, Lord you are growing me, teaching me and pouring into me. I want to praise you in advance for what You are doing in my life. Today you revealed something to me and I now more clearly understand what You need me to do. I release it.

Thank You Lord !!!
