James 1- Patience through Perseverance

Today I felt led to talk about James 1, because that is the book Pastor Kevin launched into yesterday. James started everything by mentioning we should count it all joy when we go through trials/testings. If we remain strong in Him, that is when our patience will mature and we will receive a crown/ reward. Bottom line, Christ is the one to give us life. We need to have faith so our perseverance can bear fruit.

We all need to remember that God honors our faith in Him. When we are focused on what He wants and start acting on those beliefs, that is when we will see fruit. If we don’t function in His power, we will be unstable in our ways. We will be tossed to and fro with how we are feeling or what we hear. God wants us to walk in peace!

It was kind of interesting, yesterday. Alan and I watched a message Pastor Paul had recorded. He was mentioning the fact that peace in our life comes in trusting Christ…faith. We can have faith in God because of Christ’s character. I think that is so beautiful, how Christ never changes! He will not go back on promises, and they are always AMEN!
