Stirred By The Scriptures

As we head to the weekend my mind has been preoccupied with James. I’m not not talking in the third person about myself, I’m referring to the book in the Bible. We begin our study of this letter, written by the brother of Jesus on Saturday. Of the many themes James will speak about one idea is clearly alien to our culture - adversity. Not just the idea of adversity but that it is to be seen as a virtue, something of value in my life. I live to eliminate discomfort let alone actual trials. I don’t know how God will use our study in your life - I know for me he has been rocking my world. I am praying for you and the Spirit’s working in your life and praying the same for myself.
