James

I'm reading through James again during my extra devotions.

Today I read James chapter 3. Two verses stood out, verse 13 and 17

¹³ Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show by good conduct that his works are done in the meekness of wisdom.

¹⁷ But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy.

James 1:27

Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their trouble, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world.

Psalm 37:3-5

Psalm 37:3-5

³ Trust in the LORD, and do good;
Dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness.
⁴ Delight yourself also in the LORD,
And He shall give you the desires of your heart.

⁵ Commit your way to the LORD,
Trust also in Him,
And He shall bring it to pass.

2 Cor. 5:13-21

2 Corinthians 5:13-21 (New King James Version)

¹³ For if we are beside ourselves, it is for God; or if we are of sound mind, it is for you. ¹⁴ For the love of Christ compels us, because we judge thus: that if One died for all, then all died; ¹⁵ and He died for all, that those who live should live no longer for themselves, but for Him who died for them and rose again.
¹⁶ Therefore, from now on, we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know Him thus no longer. ¹⁷ Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. ¹⁸Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, ¹⁹ that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation.
²⁰ Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we imploreyou on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God. ²¹ For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.

Wow, can't believe it's been 6 months since I posted verses here last! I knew it was a while ago, but didn't realize it's been this long.

My status on facebook a couple of days ago:
And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. Romans 12:2 (NKJV)

Read Psalms 31-32

Psalm 31:14

 ¹⁴ But I trust in you, O LORD; 
       I say, "You are my God."

Psalm 32:1, 5, 11

 ¹ Blessed is he 
       whose transgressions are forgiven, 
       whose sins are covered.

⁵ Then I acknowledged my sin to you 
       and did not cover up my iniquity. 
       I said, "I will confess 
       my transgressions to the LORD "—
       and you forgave 
       the guilt of my sin. 
       Selah

⁸ I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go;

¹² Whoever of you loves life

       do not fret when men succeed in their ways, 
       when they carry out their wicked schemes.

Psalm 38:15

       you will answer, O Lord my God.
