Day 10
Day 10 – Thursday August 13th
A – Today’s reading of the day is James Chapter 5 (NIV for me)
Focal verse today is James 5:8 “You too, be patient and stand firm, because the Lord’s coming is near.”
Review of the day: Verse 2 “Your wealth has rotted, and moths have eaten your cloths.” Verse 5 “You have lived on earth in luxury and self-indulgence. You have fattened yourselves in the day of slaughter.” Verse 13 “Is any one of you in trouble? He should pray. Is anyone happy? Let him sing songs of praise.” Verses 19-20 “My brothers, if one of you should wander from the truth and someone should bring him back, remember this: Whoever turns a sinner from the error of his way will save him from death and cover over a multitude of sins.”
B – RHEMA Strike Verse of the day: James 1:12 “Blessed is a man who perseveres under trial; for once he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life, which the Lord has promised to those who love Him.” (Perseverance/Gold)
C – Excerpt from “Wild at Heart” by John Eldridge:
“Let’s take another desire – why does a man long for a battle to fight? Because when we enter the story in Genesis, we step into a world at war. The lines have already been drawn. Evil is waiting to make its next move. Somewhere back before Eden, in the mystery of eternity past, there was a coup, a rebellion, an assassination attempt. Lucifer, the prince of angels, the captain of the guard, rebelled against the Trinity. He tried to take the throne of heaven by force, assisted by a third of the angelic army, in whom he instilled his own malice. They failed, and were hurled from the presence of the Trinity. But they were not destroyed, and the battle is not over. God now has an enemy and so do we. Man is not born into a sitcom or a soap opera; he is born into a world at war. This is not Home Improvement; it’s Saving Private Ryan. There will be many, many battles to fight on many different battlefields.”
D – Today’s input: The world tends to have its influence on us whether in big or small ways. The sad part is that so much of the time we allow it. Why? Because we give up, give in. We have reasons or should I say excuses. Where does this begin and where does this end? With sin and even more so the middle letter of sIn. We have to fight and continue to fight because if we don’t, look what will be lost, our life and possibly that of our family our loved ones our dearest friends, all the way through mankind.
E – Today’s prayer focus: Strength to fight the true fight. To keep focus on Him.
F – Encouragement and closing thoughts: You’ve heard the phrase “Never fear Underdog is here”. How about the phrase “Never fear Almighty God is here”!
