Honoring God
Jesus Teaches about True Worship
Live in the light of God (Isaiah 2:5)
The Prayer of Jesus
James 1:12-15 The Message (MSG)
12 Anyone who meets a testing challenge head-on and manages to stick it out is mighty fortunate. For such persons loyally in love with God, the reward is life and more life.
13-15 Don’t let anyone under pressure to give in to evil say, “God is trying to trip me up.” God is impervious to evil and puts evil in no one’s way. The temptation to give in to evil comes from us and only us. We have no one to blame but the leering, seducing flare-up of our own lust. Lust gets pregnant and has a baby: sin! Sin grows up to adulthood and becomes a real killer.
For Reflection
God's will is that you grow into the human being you were intended to become. God gives you a choice. You may embrace the conventions of your culture, or you can resist the temptation of conforming to the fleshly demands. God will not place impediments in your path. God removes them. Believe it. Know it. Act on this truth.
Pray
Pray and turn over your problems to the Lord. Confess your inability to go it alone in prayer. Watch for the miracle that lies just ahead as God clears your path to peace.
