James: book of Godly wisdom - part 20
JAMES 1:27
Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this: To visit the Fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep yourself unspotted from the world.
Today we finish up James Chapter 1 - I am going to take both Wednesday and Thursday off to pray and concentrate on the CHRISTmas messages this year - I need some extra time for a very important series - called Unto Us-
Please join me in prayer for this upcoming series -I will be back Friday LORD willing...and now today the word continues......
In Today's verse and the final verse of James 1 - he gets to the nitty gritty! He says it like it is - he gets simple on us but simple is always the best! We make things so complicated -we try and make it harder then it is - James says that pure religion is this - visiting the orphans in their need and widows in their need - and what is undefiled to God is keeping ourselves from the corruption of the world around us - to live for Christ - on these two James places it all - This verse really comforts me right now as our community goes through the loss of a young police officer who leaves behind 5 children and a wife- this verse fits with that - this family will need care from many - the community is coming together - police forces from other states are coming to the aid of these who lost this young man -The Word says we need to visit and care for those who are Fatherless - one way God has called me to do this is through Compassion International - you have seen various links on the prayer email and the daily devotionals - this is a practical way you can help the Fatherless or those who have no hope - poverty has taken away their hope - you can be used to bring relief in the name of Jesus - the point is do what God leads you to do - if you want to be pure before God - you must do what HE says - we must be willing to visit those who are hurting and bring them the peace that we know - to show them Jesus - and also to keep ourselves from the evil that is in this world - we must be doers of the Word -we must be willing to go where others won't!
Lets serve others by serving God - lets love those who have not experienced the love of Jesus Christ -lets walk with our LORD and tell those around us of HIS great love ---and you will be honoring our Father God in Heaven!
Unto Us is Born a Child - Christ the King!
Join me in the devotional series Unto Us...coming Friday!
a side note: There are many who live in darkness and yet we have the Light of Christ - the light of hope - we need to share what we know with those who don't - we need to give them what we have!
let's be pure before God!
in CHRIST we can bring Light to those in darkness!
