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!

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!

SWIFT TO HEAR​​​!

James 1:19-20 – Devotional

James 1:19-20

“So then, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath; for the wrath of man does not produce the righteousness of God.“

Many years ago I was attending a Christian Counselors Conference. One of the speakers related a counseling session he had with a man who was angry at his wife. He ranted and raved about how sloppy she was and how she neglected her duties of keeping the house clean and orderly.

As the counselor listened to the man tear his wife apart, he was silently praying for words with which to respond to the man. It suddenly became very quiet in the room and the counselor realized that the man was finished. Now it was the counselor’s turn to respond.

The counselor surprised the husband by agreeing with him, saying that he was married to such a terrible wife. Immediately the husband rose to his wife’s defense. He began to praise her for having a loving nature and spending time loving her family instead of cleaning. The husband left with a new view of his wife.

Are you looking for the good in others or are you so focused on their faults that you forget their strong qualities? Go for the gold and look for the best!
