An Overlooked Message

Hi Ladies,

I'm thinking this message from James is an often overlooked truth from our good
Father. I am surely needing to memorize it.

Love,
Ouida

"You ask and don't receive because you ask with wrong motives, so that you may spend it on your evil desires."  James 4:3

James Teaches Us Wisdom

Hi Ladies,

It is so good to mediate on the characteristics of wisdom. James 3:17 does have a great list.

"But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peace-loving, gentle, compliant, full of mercy and good fruits, without favoritism and hypocrisy."

May we learn this by His grace,
Ouida

More James from the West Coast

Hi Ladies,

Even on theWest Coast I am finding it helpful to be working on James. It is so practical. The scripture I am currently learning is:

"So too, though the tongue is a small part of the body, it boasts great things. Consider how large a forest a small fire ignites. and the tongue is a fire. " James 3:5-6a

God bless you,
Ouida

Whoa, It is the 19th

Hi Ladies,

Sorry I got distracted last week! This is such an exciting time with opportunities to help all around. That is why it is so good to keep your focus in the truth.

My word for this time is:
"So the Scripture was fulfilled that says, Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him for righteousness, and he was called God's friend."

James 2:23

Saying Yes in Him,

Spring Into The Word

Hurray Ladies,

New life and color is peeking out all around and we can use that enthusiasm to dig deeper into His Word!
The verse I am working on now is:

Indeed, if you keep the royal law prescribed in the Scripture, "Love you neighbor as yourself", you are doing well. But if you show favoritism, you commit sin and are convicted by the law as transgressors.
James 2: 8-9

Boy, you have to say that James does not mince words!
God bless you,
Ouida

Hi Ladies,
I have been having a great time memorizing James. The book of James is so practical and clear to understand. The verse I was working on today is James 2:1------

My brothers, do not show favoritism as you hold on to the faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ.
