Hello friends!
April was a blast with you guys. We started the study of the letter of James together in our online bible study group. We are still going through it and we are currently on chapter 4. When I first began this study with you I told everyone God knows why we are are studying together and has plans for each of us and I am seeing everyday the work He is doing in my life daily. I think some of you can too, right?
I mean "walking by faith" has a whole new meaning for me today than it did yesterday. As I am growing in maturity with God, I can see the changes God is making in me with my mouth and actions. Am I hiding Christ in my life anymore? Am I 'snapping" when the kids are not acting the way I think they should? or spill the dressing all over the floor I just mopped? You see these are just a few of the things I use to do in my life. I am not saying I am perfect at it but the difference is that as a believer we keep trying to do better the next time. Even with my husband I am more conscious of the way I speak to him. Sometimes the ones we love are the very ones we hurt the most. I know God loves me in my worst self so I must love them at their worst and show forgiveness.
The wisdom and teachings in the letter of James has opened my eyes to how much I use to seek outside wisdom before ever seeking God first. I am sad that this was true of me and it took several devastating life trials for me to turn back to Him. I would just pull God out of a box whenever its was my last resort for help. Prayer is the key that unlocks the power of the Spirit to help us and if we ask with a right heart God answers and gives generously wisdom and help to those that ask. (James 1:5, James 4:7-8)
What is spurring you on this month? Are you studying with me too?
