Today’s Thought “An Unordinary
Preparation” G. Ward
James 4
14 Yet you do not know what your life will be like tomorrow. For you are just a vapor that appears for a little while, and
then vanishes away.
Dysfunction,
whether self-imposed, or circumstantial, perhaps plagues all men and while some
count busyness as action that thwarts the pain of it all, it ultimately visits
through activity unbecoming to a desired eternality with Holy God. Instead, and
because the new day granted us exists, it’s far better to not rehearse things
of yesterday (particularly when/if they’ve hindered our fellowship with the
Holy One – on HIS terms). The precepts found in this chapter (James 4) are
foundational to know defeatism in believer-ship is entirely opposite of
spiritual governance that perfects us and prepares us for an inevitable journey
and avoidance of this reality proposes a perpetuation in more dysfunction.
Contemplate HIS love for you, but never forget HE’S just (vs.12) and whereas
those who believe understand (preeminently and confidently), “there is now no condemnation at all for those who
are in Christ Jesus” (Ro.8:1), we
thank HIM for grace.
