This weeks devotions are going to come from the book of James and the 5 things a Christian has.
Today’s focus is a CONFIDENT STAND.
Vs 2- Be happy when you face trials.
How is it possible to find joy in the midst of a storm?
Because we know who is in control during our storms.
Vs-3 when we go through trials it works perseverance in us.
How many times do we get completely frustrated because things are going crazy?
Many times that is because we take our eyes off of Jesus. Just like when Peter took his eyes off of Jesus he began to sink. As long as his eyes stayed focus on Jesus he didn’t sink. When we focus on Jesus our problems and situations don’t seem so impossible.
Is there a situation you are facing? Where are your eyes focused?
What things that are weighing you down?
Now say this “Lord I give you everything, every problem, every worry. I will keep my eyes on you so I won’t drown.”
Vs-4- let patience complete its work so we can mature and not lack anything
We cannot stand still in our relationship with God. We cannot remain babies never growing. Just as in life we grow in stages so we do in our walk with God. Allow God to purify you and refine you. Have you noticed that you continually go through the same storms and problems? Do you keep doing the same things?
