DAILY BREAD OF LIF

(KJV.)  JAMES 1:2-4

(2)  My Brethren,  count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;
(3)  Knowing this,  that the trying of your faith worketh patience.
(4)  But let patience have her perfect work,  that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.

DO YOU HAVE A MINUTE?

Brethren, as believers, though the resurrection power of the Holy Spirit indwells in our innermost spirits and we are covered by the blood of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior;  let us be aware that we are not transparent to enemy forces; they know who we are as believers; for there are demonic spirits watching our movements around the clock, to find ways to lounge spiritual attacks; therefore, let us be in spirit, pray, read the word and worship the Lord in the beauty of his holiness, so when we face enemy temptations, the Holy Spirit can minster words of wisdom into our hearts and direct our souls from falling into evil devises; and regardless of what the enemy does against our souls, if we stand firmly on faith grounds in the righteousness of Jesus Christ; we will overcome all things by his blood;  however, if we should fall into enemy traps, yield ourselves into his temptations;  let us not feel like failures in this world, we are more than conquerors through the dead and resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ; therefore, instead of condemning ourselves, let us rather learn our lessons from what type of ways or devises used against us, so we can discern his evil ways, but rejoice to know that we have Jesus Christ, if we ask for his deliverance, there are second and third chances with him to get back on our feet again; for, our lives are not over until Jesus says they are over;  therefore, regardless of what is going on in our lives today;  Jesus Christ does not condemn anyone on earth, but extending his love, and compassion to humanity; saying, "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden and I will give you rest." (Matthew 11:28);  therefore, let us be happy to know that we have Jesus Christ who can take all our heavy loads from our souls and grant us peace, joy and life everlasting.

Case in point, at times, we enter into furnace of fires, for reasons best known to our Father and Jesus Christ, regardless of what our troubles may be, we have to have greater faith in our Father through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, that there is nothing impossible with him, that he will work all things together for good, for those who are in him, and have patience, pray and wait for him to deliver our souls from all troubles of this world; therefore, let us rest upon our Father, wait patiently for him; for those that wait upon him, will inherit the earth; for he will destroy all works of evil and set his children free forevermore.

Fruits of thoughts, the entire world needs to exercise patience in this twenty-first century; it seems like the more we advance in technologies, the more we run out of patience with everything; case in point, in the past, we used to have land line phones, whereby we patiently have to look into manual address books to locate phone numbers to make phone calls, during that era, we had patience to rotate our figures on dial phone systems, then came the touch tone dial systems, we got rid of the rotation dialing systems because of speed; today, we are at points whereby we do not know people phone numbers, because they are programmed into cell phone contact memories for speed dialing sake; not only that, but at times, we are so much in a rush that we cannot spare few minutes to call someone but text one another;  but, the question we need to ask ourselves is;  where is the love of our Father in all these?;  therefore, let us exercise patience in this world, slow down, reach out and touch someone with love;  for, the world is without end..(Ephesians 3:21).  

Brethren, it seems like humanity is unwilling to wait for everything;  at times, we are not in any rush, but we still do not have patience to wait to get things done, but rather lose tempers and walk away from our blessings; we use our mouths to speak negatively; saying, either we do not have time, or are running out of time to do everything and have no time for anything on this earth; the question is, where are we going, why can not we give ourselves a little more times so we can exercise patience in everything we do; for, the world is for those who can wait;  it written in the book of Isaiah 40:31, "But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength;  they shall mount up with wings as eagles;  they shall run, and not be weary;  and they shall walk and not faint."; so, let us cultivate habits of content to wait if necessary;  that we may set ourselves up to receive all that are rightfully ours on this earth and heavenly places forevermore.

CONCLUSION

Dearly beloved, in everything, let us exercise patience in this world with kingdom mindsets; that Jesus Christ is in control of all the affairs of this earth and heavenly places; and if we can wait on him, regardless of what our negative circumstances maybe currently, he will set all things rightfully in proper perspectives and we will possess our possessions;  therefore, let us have the patience of Job, and wait patiently for Jesus Christ; not doubt promises of our Father, but have faith in him that his promises will be fulfilled at appropriate times, on this earth and in heavenly places forever and evermore.  Amen and Amen!
