We have just wrapped up another great bible study by Beth Moore, the book of James. It was humbling to say the least, truly soaking up the Word of God in the form of His servant James, brother of Jesus, he sure had a mouth full for me to digest. I am finding the more I am in the Word, the stronger my connection to my Lord becomes, it’s like the manna that God provided His people, I just can not wait til the next day for more. James opened my eyes to the reality of my reality here on this earth- which is I have a long way to go to get where I need to be. Yeah, seriously, we all do.
That precious brother of our Savior sure took the long road to reedemption himself..doubting his Lord, his family, was even who He said He was..I think that was brave of him. When he did come around to the light, boy did he ever shine. I thank you so much James for allowing the Lord to work through you and leave us those words of wisdom..action words that we should live by and learn from. Wow, what a book of the bible. Ending the study I pondered slowly as I listened to Beth reciting the entire book by heart, can I even come close to this kind of living? Lord I pray I can, I pray hard you will help me grow.
“Perserverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.” James 1:4
