Day 18: Wednsday, February 9
Scripture Passage: James 2:5-7 NKJV
"Listen, my beloved brethren: Has God not chosen the poor of this world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom which He promised to those who love Him? But you have dishonored the poor man. Do not the rich oppress you and drag you into the courts? Do they not blaspheme that noble name by which you are called?" - Jam 2:5-7 NKJV
My Observation:
It is better to be poor and rich in faith, than riches and poor judgement.
My Application:
I still must strive to serve Gods chosen with the faith and certainty he will provideme the tools and knowledge to do so as he willed.
My Prayer:
Lord, give me courage to move forward with your plan and the power to create, to serve the people effectively.
Here I explain in greater detail what each section stands for, remember these are just guidelines to help you.
S- stands for “Scripture” you are to write out the verses in your own handwriting. By the end of our James study, you will have written out the WHOLE book of James! Also writing out the scripture helps you to understand it better and take a closer, slower look at the verses.
O- stands for “Observations“, what do you notice in this passage? You may want to summarize the verses in your own words, but most importantly write down what you hear God saying to you in these verses. What new observations or insights have you learned?
A- stands for “Application“, how can you apply what you just read to your life? Make it personal. Is there something that you need to change? Someone you need to forgive?
P- stands for “Prayer“, pray over what God has shown you today through His Word. Ask Him to help you live it out.
Thanks for making the time to be in God’s Word a priority in your life!
Learning to LOVE GOD GREATLY right along with you!!!
