BIBLE MEDITATION:
“But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.” James 1:4
DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:
“Patience worketh perfection.” When was the last time you asked God to
make you perfect? Maybe you should have asked for patience as well,
because it is only through patient, abiding faith and trust in the Lord
that we become “perfect.”
A lot of people confuse this word “perfect” with “sinless.” The Greek
word for perfect in James 1:4 is teleios, and it refers to a maturing
growth. For example, an oak tree is the teleios of an acorn. It is the
perfection of an acorn.
So when you are discouraged and feeling a little blue,
Take a look at a mighty oak and see what a nut can do.
ACTION POINT:
Take a walk this week enjoying the beauty of God’s creation and ask Him
to give you the patience and faith that can turn a little acorn into a
mighty oak.

RULES OF THE ROAD:
1)The Names and Titles of God our Father and Jesus Christ our Savior will be respected at all times.
2) Discussion is encouraged, however, respect for other people and their opinions is the rule---play nice.
3) No profanity, allusions, innuendos or just plain nastiness will be tolerated. Decency WILL prevail.
This is MY house and YOU are a guest here and differences of opinion will be tolerated as long as you conduct yourself accordingly. If "the exercise of civility is beyond your ability" or you were never taught by your parents, feel free to take your toys and go home and vent your pent-up anger elsewhere.
