Day 8
Day 8 – Tuesday August 11th
A – Today’s reading of the day is James Chapter 3 (NIV for me)
Focal verse today is James 3:18 “Peacemakers who sow in peace raise a harvest of righteousness.”
Review of the day: Verse 2 “We all stumble in many ways. If anyone is never at fault in what he says, he is a perfect man, able to keep this whole body in check.” Verse 10 “Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers, this should not be.” Verse 13 “Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show it by his good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom.” Verse 17 “But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere.”
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:
“If a man does not find those things for which his heart is made, if he is never even invited to live for them from his deep heart, he will look for them in some other way. … A man bears the image of God in his strength, not so much physically but soulfully.”
D – Today’s input: I like the format of verse 2. It starts out with the obvious that we all stumble. It finishes with a statement of what we fall short on, a perfect man. But it is done in a way that makes me think that it is something we should strive for even though we know it is not possible. That is the object. Press forward with everything you got. Verse 10, to me, is a continuation. Just because we can physically curse (or complain) we shouldn’t. Then look at the wonderfulness of verses 13 and 17. It is our way to prove to ourselves that it is obtainable. That we have a source and a destination that is so much higher then us but so much available, daily, hourly, to the minute and the smallest second.
E – Today’s prayer focus: Pray for wisdom (and seek it). Pray for a passion for life (in Him). Pray to overcome our shortfalls. Pray for everyone this email is going out to.
F – Encouragement and closing thoughts: Be pure, be peace-loving, be considerate, be submissive, be full of mercy and good fruit, and be impartial and sincere. Step up to the plate and give it your best swing.
