Today’s Thought “A Script Worthy of Rehearsal” G. Ward

 

James 1: ²² But prove yourselves doers of the word, and not just hearers who deceive themselves.

The issue at large in this chapter is perseverance in Christ, embodying refusal to be overwhelmed by circumstances outside of HIS reign and rule for our lives and whereas HE won’t appear to us physically to impart all HE is saying, HIS Word from Genesis to Revelation remains sufficient to cheer and guide. It promotes warning, along with perfect guidance that thwarts every idea in being satisfied with systems ever-changing, even that to which political fronts and fraternal affiliations promise; for despair can often enter a room when no one is available; yet I know of HIS unrelenting presence, particularly because many portions of HIS Truth affirm this. Therefore, I’m convinced of a daily follow-ship of HIS Word, for I and every other are with a propensity to seek foolish regard of people and things, so I remain implanted in that to which is precedent for my life; determined to obey every warning, while encouraging others of HIS indiscriminate love with pardon for any who’ll confess HIS ownership of them.

 

And Father God, meditations of Your gentle rule, desires to remain in the grip of grace You provide – “A Mighty Fortress is Our God!” May this pause thank You for teaching us how to abide, to then witness more joy than our contemplations ever imagined – “What A Friend We Have in Jesus!” May any who’ve sought to believe in Your Word, be presented with a devoted sayer of Your Truth, rendering hope, that grants one other – “Blessed Assurance” in/through Jesus, Amen.
