James 1:3-4
“Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.â€
What of Today’s Verse…
A career change, a move to a new home, a retirement, or a graduation may signal the end of one stage of life and the beginning of another. Before embarking on the new course my life is taking, I take a moment to reflect on the completion of this phase and on God’s spirit that brought me to this turning point.
Â
I give thanks for the spirit of God that has been my guide and inspiration. I release the past, forgive where necessary, and rest in the awareness of God’s spirit within me.
Â
It may seem that the experiences of life test how strong my faith is, but it is my assurance of God’s loving support that grows stronger each day. Bringing a segment of life to its completion ensures that I am ready for the next phase. My faith is full and complete.
Let us Pray:
Most Holy God. Your righteousness and holiness are beyond me and my ability to attain. Yet I long, dear Father, to be more like you in every way humanly possible. Let me know of your presence with me as I seek you and your character in my life. Through Jesus the Righteous One I pray. Amen.
