James 1:1-8 3 key points to take away from todays devotion ⭐️ testing+trials=pure joy ⭐️ endurance will force your faith into the open and show its true colors - Are you ready for that? ⭐️ If you don't know what you are doing, SPEAK UP and ask God without doubting or having a plan B.

1 Samuel 16:7 talks about how we as humans can look at the wrong things like someones physical traits or status but God looks at the heart. The intent or motive. The root of where all things grow. (example: greed, envy, lust vs Faith, surrender, guidance) We should strive to do the same, not only with others, but with ourselves. What is our motive or intent with our prayer? James 4:3 says "you ask and don't receive bc you ask with the wrong motives so that you may spend it on your pleasures."

Have you ever asked yourself "How did I not see that?" Ephesians 1:7-10 can easily be turned into a daily prayer so that you are able to receive the God's wisdom. Note: A prayer is not a test to God... He knows the posture of your heart when you come to Him. (Deuteronomy 6:16)

Thank you Lord for sending us your Son!! Today we finish Chapter 7 in Romans. Sin is anything that creates a wedge between us and God. Verse 24 reflects that we can’t do it on our own “who will rescue me from myself?”
