The Good Life (7)

“If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him.” James 1:5 (NIV)

Here’s an overview of what we have learned from the first three chapters of James.

  • Respond properly to trials from without.
  • Respond properly to temptations from within.
  • Apply God’s Word consistently in daily living.
  • Value others as God does.
  • Demonstrate a faith that works.
  • Control your speech.
  • Employ God’s wisdom in daily decisions.
  • Do life God’s way by revering, obeying, and portraying Christ.

The good life is marked by full surrender to God’s agenda. Allow God to work in you so that He can work through you to bring others to Christ. You matter to God and every moment of your life is significant. Your conversation and your conduct have eternal implications. The way you treat others is a direct reflection of your love relationship with Christ. Abandon your all to the Lord. Give Him first place in your life.

Don’t hesitate to ask God for wisdom each day. God is generous and wants to shower you with heavenly wisdom for doing life His way. Trust God to be your sufficiency!

Pursuing God,

Executive Pastor
