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.

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
