New Book!

Hi Ladies,

New scripture from a new book.


"Then your light will break out like the dawn, and your recovery will speedily spring forth;
And your righteousness will go before you; the glory of the LORD will be your rear guard."

Isaiah 58:8

God loves you,

Something New

Hi Ladies,

I guess sort of a birthday present is new scriptures to memorize. Isaiah 58:6 says -

"Is this not the fast which I choose,
to loosen the bonds of wickedness,
to undo the bands of the yoke,
to let the oppressed go free and
to break every yoke"

God bless you,
Ouida

August already!

Hi Ladies,
Here we are at the end of James!

"My brothers, if any among you strays from the truth, and someone turns him back, let him know that whoever turns a sinner from the error of his way will save his life from death and cover a multitude of sins."
 James 5:19-20

Could James have been thinking of his own early rejection of Jesus as the Christ?

God bless you this delightfully warm month of the year.

Almost through wonderful James

Hi Ladies,

Toward the end of James is this amazing scripture:

"Elijah was a man with a nature like ours; yet he prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and for three years and six months id did not rain on the land." James 5:17

Have a blessed end of July.
Love,Ouida

Yay July

Hi Ladies from cooler Colorado,

It may be warm here but the air is dryer so it is not noticed. We are happy to have a chance to visit Gerry's parents again,

I plan to work on James 5:15.
"The prayer of faith will save the sick person, and the Lord will restore him to health; if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven."

Love,
Ouida

Oops - How the days fly by

Hi Ladies,

The days are flying by and so is James. In the fifth chapter there is much word on patience. There is also this word on meaning what you say:

Now above all, my brothers, do not swear, either by heaven or by earth or with any other oath. Your "yes" must be "yes," and your "no" must be "no," so that you won't fall under judgment.  (James 5:12)

This is a pretty clear word. Have a good rest of June.

Love,
Ouida

Puzzling Word

James 5 starts with a puzzle to know how to apply.

"Look! The pay that you withheld from the workers who reaped your fields cries out, and the outcry of the harvesters has reached the ears of the Lord of Hosts." James 5:4

God bless your thoughts on His word.
