James

It's like I've read the book of James many times..but every time I read through it the Lord shows me something new. Like James 1:22
"Do not merely listen to the word.....Do what it says."
Umm..HELLO! Wow..don't just listen to it and acknowledge it..Do what it says.. It's a command..Not a statement. Recently in my life I've just been acknowledging it and not doing what it says. Going back to Philippians 4:6-7...Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication let all requests be known to God and the peace that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and your minds.
Once again..Reading that verse and being able to let everything be given to God..and that peace that surpasses ALL understanding will guard my heart and mind...Man, it blows my mind..The Word tells me that I can't worry and be anxious, I've got to give it to Him. Give it ALL to Him...not just 85% on or 99.9%..100% giving it all to Him.
Now I'm just sorting stuff out in my head and I'm rambling and repeating myself.
But the Lord is amazing. Merciful and gracious, loving and just.
So really thats what God has put on my heart..To not worry and to keep my eyes fixed on him (Heb 12:2)....Soo.. that's that.
Reading it and doing it.
