Day 115, James 4
How do we live in the ways Jacob has been commending?
Today he tells us: there’s a war going on inside, and wins when I accept the grace of God and allow Holy Spirit to transform me from the inside out! God is watching this struggle, and resists us when we are proud, but gives more grace when we are humble. In other words, the less you are, the more God loves it!
Along with this, another sign of our humble submission to God is the way we talk about one another. If we speak against a brother or sister, we are not on God’s territory. But if we are conscious of our own fallibility, we qualify for more of God’s grace. We are not to put ourselves in the place of judging right and wrong, but trusting God we live each day in obedience and submission to Him.
Have a great day!
Mark
