Living It Out This Week
Sometimes we just want to throw our hands up and quit! Other times we just want life to be easy. But both options are not realistic; we are called to persevere and become mature. May these verses help you continue the face of the faith.
Sunday-James 1.2-8: How can these verses serve as an anchor this week? James wants to motivate us to action in our faith; how will you show your faith this week?
Monday-Matthew 5.3-12: Jesus is teaching about the attitude of the kingdom. Which is easiest for you? Hardest? Slowly read the verses again and let them start to sink in.
Tuesday-Matthew 7.7-12: Our view of God will determine our prayers. Notice the last couple prayers you have prayed; what observations can you make? What does this say about your view of God?
Wednesday-John 14.25-31: Notice what the Holy Spirit, the Advocate, will do for believers. We are not so much to seek wisdom in general as we are to seek the Holy Spirit who is the ultimate teacher and reminder.
Thursday-Hebrews 12.1-3: An interesting phrase, “for the joy set before Him He endured the cross”. The cross was not a “fun” time for Jesus yet it was something which produced joy. So to, James tells us, are trial in the life of the believer. May we have joy this week.
Friday-Proverbs 4.7-9: We must seek wisdom from God like it is the most important thing we can “get”, for it is. How have you sought wisdom this past week? Where will you seek wisdom this coming week?
Saturday-James 1.9-18: Join us in worship tomorrow! Pray for our worship tomorrow. Pray that our eyes would see the Lord! Invite someone.
