James: book of Godly wisdom - part 2
JAMES 1:4
But let patience have her perfect work, that you may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.
I have seen some translations end this passage with the words - Lacking nothing - I like that better then wanting nothing -but we must go with what the KJV says as that is what I have been using from the beginning - with that said - I want to explore that truth -that in Christ we have all we need- He allows various trials to come into our lives with the sole purpose of showing us our need for Him -and at the same time working out patience in our lives -the verse says let her have her perfect work - allowing the trials to bring us closer to Jesus is the goal - but many times our flesh reacts without thinking and we get in a heap of trouble - we must trust God no matter how things look or how things are - we all struggle with something in our lives as we are only human - but with God's Spirit living inside of us - we have the ability to not sin - hear me in this -as long as we are in these bodies we can and often will sin - but that sin is not done without conviction if you really know Jesus and His Spirit dwells in your - sure you can sin once you know Christ but it is not any fun -maybe for a season -but its not how we should live any longer -let as James says - Patience have her perfect way in your life - the goal is to make us complete in our life in Christ and in Him we have all we need!
The joy of this journey is knowing God is with us every step of the way!
a side note: God never promised us a trouble free life - but a life in which He will use the trouble to give us direction in our lives...He will used whatever is nessary to bring us to the place He wants us - just keep on keeping on and trust Him!
in CHRIST every trial has an eternal purpose!
