NOTHING WAVERING!

James 1:5-6

“If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.”

GOOD CONDUCT MEDAL!

James 3:13​ –  Devotional

James 3:13

“Let the one who is wise and understanding among you demonstrate it by good conduct accomplished with meekness and wisdom.”

In the military there are medals awarded for a variety of reasons. If you were to observe the dress uniform of a seasoned veteran, you would see row after row of medals for various accomplishments. One of these medals is the Good Conduct Medal. It is awarded to all who stay out of trouble for an entire year. Yeah!

I know it is no big deal, but for many that first medal was one of the first positive affirmations they had ever received. Let’s face it; the world tends to be harsh and unfeeling leaving many feeling like outsiders.

The Lord has given those who have trusted Him for salvation the most glorious good conduct medal. It is not because of what we have done or will do for Him, but what He has provided for us. Salvation, full and free!

The eternal salvation which we have in Christ is offered freely to us, but it cost Jesus His sinless life. He who knew no sin took upon Himself our sin and paid the price that we may receive His GOOD CONDUCT MEDAL! Be sure to wear it with honor!

GOD’S LAWS!

James 5:8 –  Devotional

James 5:8

“You also be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand.”

Sir Isaac Newton was a very brilliant man. He set forth the Laws of Motion. The first law is: A body in motion tends to remain in motion until acted upon by some outside force. The second law has sometimes been called the law of inertia. It states that: A body at rest tends to remain at rest unless impelled by some external force. The third law is: For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Alright folks, that is your physics lesson for today!

Just as there are physical laws that are in control of the universe, there are spiritual laws that are designed to draw us closer to the Lord. The first spiritual law of motion is: A soul that moves toward the Lord will tend to continue moving toward Him. The problem is that the devil is trying to draw our attention away from the Lord and if we are not careful our momentum will be stopped.

There is a second spiritual law of motion is: A soul that is at rest concerning God will fail to move toward Him. The third spiritual law of motion is: For every spiritual action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Where do you find yourself in relation to the spiritual laws of motion? Have you made promises to make the Lord a priority in your life, but then failed to act upon it?

WARRIORS NOT WORRIERS!

James 1:5 –  Devotional

James 1:5

“If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him.”

I recall receiving an e-mail requesting prayer for a “prayer worrier.” I am sure the writer meant “prayer warrior,” but this person did what I have done so many times—misspelled a word and thus changed the meaning.

I have been thinking about the difference between worrier and warrior. The dictionary defines a warrior as a person who is actively engaged or is experience in battle. That sounds like someone I would like to have on my side!

On the other hand a worrier always thinks or stews over about all of the bad things that possibly might happen. Whoops! That is certainly is not the person I would feel confident to have in my corner as a prayer partner.

In James 1:6 we find the description of a worrier: “For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.” I don’t know about you, but do not want to have a prayer worrier at my side. I want a prayer warrior who will stand fast in the battle against the enemies of the cross.

OUR SOURCE OF WISDOM!

James 1:5 –  Devotional

James 1:5

“If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.”

Wisdom is different than knowledge. I can recall as a teenager watch as college students taunted a brilliant student who possessed superior knowledge, but lacked the common sense to apply it to everyday life.

All of us may be aware or remember individuals who possessed superior mental ability, yet lacked the practical ability to use that great potential in ways that could be useful. They knew, but they could not apply!

God has graciously promised us His wisdom for our life. Our Scripture for today fills us with confidence that when we come to the Lord and seek His wisdom for our life, He will not fail us. The problem is that we fail to open the source of His wisdom – – THE BIBLE.

When we seek to know and understand God’s will for our life, we must spend time in the Bible. A walk in the park or a hike in the hills may invigorate us, but it will not provide us with His wisdom. God breathed on the writers of Scripture to give us what we need to know in order to live victoriously for Him. Receive it!

Blessings dear hearts walk with God today and become a blessing!
