Day 7
Day 7 – Monday August 10th
A – Today’s reading of the day is James Chapter 2 (NIV for me this second time around.)
Focal verse today is James 2:22 “You see that his faith and his actions were working together, and his faith was made complete by what he did.”
Review of the day: Verse 1 “My brothers, as believers in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ, don’t show favoritism.” Verse 4 “have you not discriminated among yourselves and become judges with evil thoughts?” Verse 5 “Listen, my dear brothers: Has not God chosen those who are poor in the eyes of the world to be rich in faith and to inherit the kingdom he promised those who love him?” Verse 8 “If you really keep the royal law found in Scripture, “Love your neighbor as yourself,” you are doing right.” Verse 14 “What good is it, my brothers, if a man claims to have faith but has no deeds?” Verse 24 “You see that a person is justified by what he does and not by faith alone.”
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:
“-adventure is written into the heart of a man. And it’s not just about having “fun.” Adventure requires something of us, puts us to the test. Though we may fear the test, at the same time we yearn to be tested, to discover that we have what it takes.”
D – Today’s input: I am reminded of a part of a verse in a song: “Have (or Can) others seen Jesus in you?” And if I may somewhat quote something that Pastor Dale once said: “If you were put on trial for being a Christian, would there be enough evidence to convict you of being a Christian?”
E – Today’s prayer focus: Strength to be the “Man” God wants you to be. Strength to do those things that you know are right and to avoid doing (and even the appearance) of doing those things that are wrong.
F – Encouragement and closing thoughts: God has given us everything we need to “walk in His ways”, “keep His statutes”, “His commandments”, “His ordinances”, and “His testimonies”. We just need to take up the doing. Who’s with me?
