Day 11
Day 11 – Friday August 14th
A – Today’s reading of the day is James Chapter 1 (Day 11 starts our 3rd time through James. I will be using the Message Translation this time around.)
Focal verse today is James 1:12 “Anyone who meets a testing challenge head-on and manages to stick it out is mighty fortunate. For such persons loyally in love with God, the reward is life and more life.”
Review of the day: Verse 3 “You know that under pressure, your faith-life is forced into the open and shows its true color.” Verse 8 “adrift at sea, keeping all your options open.” Verse 21 “So throw all spoiled virtue and cancerous evil in the garbage. In simple humility, let our gardener, God, landscape you with the Word, making a salvation-garden of your life.”
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:
“USEFUL THINGS I CAN DO: Be nice. Make a bed. Dig a hole. Write books. Sing alto or bass. Read a map. Drive a car.
USEFUL THINGS I CAN’T DO: Chop down big trees and cut them into lumber or firewood. Handle a horse, train a dog, or tend a herd of animals. Handle a boat without panicking the others. Throw a fastball, curve, or slider. Load, shoot, and clean a gun. Or bow and arrow. Or use either of them, or a spear, net, snare, boomerang, or blowgun, to obtain meat. Defend myself with my bare hands.”
D – Today’s input: I don’t think many people are actually “mighty fortunate” and it is a shame. I say that because how many of us meet our testing challenges head-on and manage to stick it out oh let’s say more then 90% of the time? 75% of the time? 50% of the time? What is your true color when under pressure at work? At home? With our friends? When we don’t think anyone is around? Gotchya there didn’t I? I know that I find myself like Verse 8 says adrift because I don’t or won’t take the stand that I need to. Especially around co-workers, so called friends, and even strangers who we think we will never see again. We need to let God work us and let His boldness show through us.
E – Today’s prayer focus: The ability to turn everything over to God. Our selves, our lives, our families, or jobs, our thoughts, our actions, our…
F – Encouragement and closing thoughts: Let God work in us. Do what He wants you to do. Be bold! Be a man!
