DAILY BREAD OF LIFE

(KJV.)  JAMES 3:14-18

(14)  But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth.
(15)  This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual devilish.
(16)  For where envying and strife is,  there is confusion and every evil work.
(17)  But the wisdom that is from above is first pure,  then peaceable,  gentle,  and easy to be entreated,  full of mercy  and good fruits,  without  partiality,  and without hypocrisy.
(18)  And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.


WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT:

Brethren,  as believers, let us purge our hearts of all filthiness of the spirit, and seek knowledge from heaven; when we get offended by others, or have the urge to acquire what others possess;  let us not yield to these thoughts, but identify those feelings, and treat them as negative thoughts from the enemy:  this kind of knowledge is given from heaven to manifest on earth, to identify devises of the enemy against humanity;  whenever we display evil attributes among others, there are always uncertainties on what is going on with us or what to do about our morally bad behaviors;  however, if we possess gifts of knowledge from heaven, we will try to display godly attributes among others;  for morally good fruits are already being planted in our hearts to produce harmony with one another.

Brethren,  if we are gifted with wisdom from the LORD, we will carefully execute our responsibilities, duties among our peers peacefully;  for wisdom from above is holy and without blemish;  (i)  then peaceable,  not involving violence or fights or causing mischief among brethren, but with love;  (ii) gentle and easy to entreated,  having a quiet nature and emotionally easy to persuade when in disagreement with others;  (iii)  full of mercy and good fruits,  having a forgiven spirits towards one another, this is also an attribute of the Father and our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ,  let us forgive one another;  (iii)  without partiality,  having a spirit of truth, not to take wrong side of situations in favor of others, or treat someone better than another; but exercise justice in dealing with all men; (iv)  without hypocrisy,  not having an attribute that does not agree with what we tell others to do or refrain from doing, but practice what we preach to others:  however, when fruits of  godliness enters our souls, its missions are to cleanse us from all our fleshly desires and enable us to walk in faith through the righteousness of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and to seek goodwill of others.

Brethren, negative attributes given in this passage are attributes of people who think better of themselves than others;  if we possess any of these negative attributes, let us pray and ask the Holy Spirit to teach us what we need to know about our inner selves and to purge them away from our spirits, so we can live more in godliness;  if we have already received spirit of righteousness through resurrection power of the Holy Spirit,  let us bear good fruits of righteousness sown in our hearts with love, joy and peace forever.

Brethren,   today, let us search our hearts, are there any darkness, bitterness, sorrow, anxieties, and depressions overwhelming our souls?  we are not alone, Jesus Christ, is with us in our darker moments;  he knows our thoughts and feels emotions,  he knows we cannot free ourselves without his blood,  he is standing by us now;  saying,  children it is well!  let me help you, you cannot bear these burdens all alone,  leave them on my shoulders,  let me take control of everything,  my blood is sufficient enough to set you free from it all and grant you peace forever and evermore.  
Amen and Amen!


QUOTE OF DAY:

(KJV.)  I Corinthians 3:19  For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God.  For it is written,  He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.
