GOING THROUGH IT AGAIN AND AGAIN

 

James 1:4

 

"And let steadfastness have it's full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing." ESV 

 

Our Lord has a way of teaching us the important things in our walk with Him. Sometimes He has to take us back to the same lesson again and again until we are able to get it right. When we learn these lessons, we know, by His Spirit, that we have matured in Him. If we remember that it is to our own harm to buck against these lessons, we will be alert, ready to stay the course.

 

Heavenly Father, so often we can't see that You are teaching us a lesson and we continually ignore it and fail to learn spiritual maturity. Help us, Lord, to recognized that it is Your patience with us that allows us to grow mature and complete in You. In Jesus name, Amen.

James 1:4

"And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing." ESV

Trials and stressful things in this world can strengthen our faith. It is the measure of our faith that determines how much patience we have and how much we can persevere. If we can successfully stand strong in faith through trials and tribulations in this world, we will be mature and complete in Christ.

Heavenly Father, how thankful we are for the measure of faith You have given us. We ask You to help us exercise this faith so that we can persevere through the trials and tribulations we face in this world. We desire to be made whole. In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.

WORKING BEHIND THE SCENES

 

Philippians 1:6

 

 

"And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Christ Jesus." ESV

 

 

God works in us many times and in many ways. Sometimes it is at an unconscious level. We aren't aware at all that He has touched us until we experience it or see it in our daily lives. We think differently and respond differently than we normally had done. No need to question what has happened. The Lord has done a work down deep in our souls.

 

 

Heavenly Father, we fully confess that we need a deep work in our souls to bring us more into Your light and Your image. We open our hearts, our minds, and our emotions to allow You to do the deep work within us that You long to do. We thank You for it and ask it in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.
