Day 6

Day 6 – Sunday August 9th

A – Today’s reading of the day is James Chapter 1 (NIV for me this second time around.)

Focal verse today is James 1:18 “He chose to give birth through the word of truth, that we might be a kind of first fruits of all he created.”

Review of the day: Verse 4 “Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.” Verse 9 “The brother in humble circumstances ought to take pride in his high position.” Verse 15 “Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.” Verse 21 “Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent and humble accept the word planted in you which can save you.”

B – RHEMA Strike Verse of the day: Jeremiah 17:9: “The heart is more deceitful than all else and is desperately sick; who can understand it?” (Depravity/black)

C – Excerpt from “Wild at Heart” by John Eldridge:
“And certainly we see that God wants not merely an adventure, but an adventure to share. He didn’t have to make us, but he waned to. Though he knows the name of every star and his kingdom spans galaxies, God delights in being a part of our lives. Do you now why he often doesn’t answer prayer right away? Because he wants to talk to us, and sometimes that’s the only way to get us to stay and talk to him. His heart is for relationship, for shared adventure to the core.”

D – Today’s input: What are you going to surround yourself with today? Things that moth or rust will destroy? What type of actions and attitudes will you display today? Surround yourself with God and Godly things. Be involved with God. Bring God into the things that you are doing. If you don’t think you can then maybe you need to rethink what it is that you are doing.

E – Today’s prayer focus: Ask God to forgive your sins, each and every one of them. Ask God to come along with you today while you are going about your day.

F – Encouragement and closing thoughts: James 1:15 mentions desire turning into sin turning into death. What if we live a desire that brings joy and brings life, life everlasting.
