A Look at the Book #461

Daily Devotional – A Look at the Book #461

A Thought for today by Papa “J”

If I were a dress maker I would use a pattern and make a new dress and if I were peace maker I would pray and use the Prophesy of Jeremiah as a template. Jeremiah 6:14

A DAY IN THE PAST, THE PRESENT OR THE FUTURE

Some have said in the past that I use too many words in the devotional and they do not have time to read so they don’t. To accommodate I shortened things up; I have noticed other devotionals that come my way must have had the same readers since those writers did the same. Here is my take on this! Read your Bible; then you will not have to waste time reading blogs devoted as help tools to encourage people to study the Holy Word of God. The fact is that it would be so much nicer for this nation if people would simply read and study the Holy Word of God. The simple godly life of yesterday is available. (Say what?) I said the way of life that you and I seek is available. Take a solid look at Jeremiah 6:16-20 – Thus says the LORD: “Stand in the ways and see, and ask for the old paths, where the good way is, and walk in it; Then you will find rest for your souls. But they said, ‘We will not walk in it.’ Also, I set watchmen over you, saying, Listen to the sound of the trumpet!’ But they said, ‘We will not listen’. Therefore hear, you nations, and know, O congregation, what is among them. Hear O earth! Behold, I will certainly bring calamity on this people, Even the fruit of their thoughts, because they have not heeded My words, Nor my law, but rejected it. For what purpose to Me comes frankincense from Sheba, and sweet cane from a far country? Your burnt offerings are not acceptable, nor your sacrifices sweet to Me.” Now it is your turn to say that we do not sacrifice these days nor do we give sugar cane to God. True, but we do sacrifice our babies to demons through abortion and give away our riches to foreign countries. Enough said!

James 5

James 5:19 – Has anyone wandered away from the truth these days? Oh where do I start? From the little child who’s parents have split from the oneness that God ordained. To a community of peoples taxed with the choice of being immoral, rather than normal as a standard of life. Or a nation who has decided that God is no longer needed, nor is He to be trusted. All these peoples have turned and wandered from the truth. It is not any longer a question of who did wander away since the whole “head” is sick with spiritual dementia.

James 5:20 – This is a call for action… Pray for this nation! He who turns a sinner from the error of his or her way will assist in saving that soul from death, thus covering a multitude of sin. Also you will be involved with God who will save this nation from death as well. There are no more words to continue this plea since most all of them have already been said and we as a nation have not heard with our ears, nor have we been brought to our knees. That day is coming!

This concludes our brief study of James and I am saddened, we will move on but I intend to study it again in my personal time, I hope you will too. James the half-brother of Jesus Christ the Son of God… can you imagine the impact of this truth on this disciple of Jesus. “He’s not heavy… He’s my Brother!” Matthew 11:28-30 Is Jesus your Brother? Then talk with God about the things on your heart. It is said that James had knees that looked like camels knees. Why? Because; he was always on his knees communicating with His Brother, so what do your knees look like?
