The Best of the Feast
Faith and Wisdom
Please join us sharing God’s
Word daily. We will spend about
fifteen minutes a day praying and reading every word in God’s Word in
approximately three years. Gods Not
Dead!
“1 Now faith is the substance
of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” Hebrews 11:1 New King James Version (NKJV).
An overview;
of the book of James: “This epistle of
James is one of the most instructive writings in the New Testament. Being
chiefly directed against particular errors at that time brought in among the
Jewish Christians, it does not contain the same full doctrinal statements as
the other epistles, but it presents an admirable summary of the practical
duties of all believers. The leading truths of Christianity are set forth
throughout; and on attentive consideration, it will be found entirely to
agree with St. Paul’s statements concerning grace and justification, while it
abounds with earnest exhortations to the patience of hope and obedience of
faith and love, interspersed with warnings, reproofs, and encouragements,
according to the characters addressed. The truths laid down are very serious,
and necessary to be maintained; and the rules for practice ought to be
observed in all times. In Christ there are no dead and sapless branches,
faith is not an idle grace; wherever it is, it brings forth fruit in works.“
– Matthew Henry Concise Commentary
Dear
Saints,
Today we prayerfully continue
our Feast by reading the book of James Chapter 1; The testing of our faith serves
to build and strengthen our faith in Jesus (James 1:1-11) so we can endure both the good
and bad times. God is good He sent His only son Jesus to save us (James 1:12-18) the perfect gift that overcame
sin and death. We must be humble and obey Jesus (James 1:19-21) sharing the good news in a
manner that glorifies God. It is not enough to be in church every
Sunday and Wednesday hearing the Word of God (James 1:22-25) we must be doing God’s Word with
every deed we do and word we speak. We don’t deceive ourselves
with an unbridled tongue, we must bring our heart and mind into submission in
Jesus; “26 If anyone among you thinks he is religious, and does not
bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this one’s religion is useless.
27 Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit
orphans and widows in their trouble, and to keep oneself unspotted from the
world.” James 1:26-27 NKJV. We must continually
strive to discipline our whole self, mind, and body (Ephesians 6:11-13) to serve God in every
circumstance. Similarly we must train our earthly and spiritual children
to honor and obey the Holy Spirit; “6 Train up a child in the way he
should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it” Proverbs 22:6 NKJV. We have enduring
faith because of God’s power (1 Corinthians 2:5) and not because of
human wisdom If the Lord is willing I will write and share the Feast tomorrow.
