Even More James

Hi Ladies,

Today's verse is interesting:

"Come now, you who say, 'Today or tomorrow we will travel to such and such city and spend a year there and  do business and make a profit.'" James 4: 13

Have a blessed memorization,
Ouida

In Your Face James

Hi Ladies,

Sometimes it seems like James gets in your face. How about this attention getting getting scripture.

"Adultresses! Don't you know that friendship with the world is hostility toward God? So whoever wants to be the world's friend becomes God's enemy." James 4:4

God bless you,
Ouida

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,
Ouida

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
