Living Out Persevering Faith
Apostle James shows how true faith produces doers of the Word and bear fruit in actions & deeds. James offers many tests for genuine faith: It endures trials, obeys the Word, harbours no prejudice, controls the tongue, is separated from the world & resists the devil. Above all, faith waits patiently for the coming of the Lord.
Lord, we’ll Believe & Persevere:
Consider it pure joy whenever You
face trials because the testing of
Your faith produces Perseverance.
Let perseverance finish its work
so that you may be mature and
complete, not lacking anything.
If any of you Lacks Wisdom,
he should Ask God, who gives
generously to all without finding
fault, and it will be given to him.
But when he asks, he must
Believe and Not Doubt (Jas 1:2-6).
Lord, grant me the hallmark of my faith be the ability to face troubles with Your perspective in mind. Grant me Lord the ability to face troubles with Your grace. Help me to hold on to Your promise so that when my faith is tested, Endurance has a chance to grow, and I will be Complete In You. Amen
Lord, thank You that Your Word promises that You will give wisdom to us when we ask for it. So I Ask For Wisdom, for I know true wisdom comes only from You. Help me to be wise in daily decision especially when I must act quickly. Help me to know what to do & what not to do in any situation. Amen.
Lord, we note in Your Word that when we ask, we must Believe and Not Doubt. So help me Lord not to be double-minded, but to set my mind fully on You Lord. And even as I choose to believe, I trust that You will keep me from error, guide me into truth and I will be Complete In You. Amen.
