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.”

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.
 
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.
 
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.
