 *MAY 9 - JAMES 1:19-27 - WISDOM: HIGHWAY TO HOLINESS*

*(Please do not fail to read the NOTE at the end)*


 *1. 1:19-20 TWICE THE LISTENING: HALF THE SPEAKING. “You know this, my
beloved brethren. But let every man be swift to :hear, slow to :speak, slow
to wrath: 20 for man’s wrath works not God’s righteousness” (NNT). *The
tongue and anger are contrary to the highway of holiness. Your wisdom
Father, makes listeners of us, and by this we are counted wise. *Hallowed
be your :name.*


 *2. 1:21 WORD IN MEEKNESS: DEFEATS LUSTS OF THE FLESH. “Wherefore putting
away all filthiness and overflowing of wickedness, receive with meekness
the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.” *Here Father, You
encourage us to have a change of clothing: we put off the clothing of the
flesh and put on Christ and His indwelling Word! *Your :kingdom come!*


 *3. 1:22 WORD-DOERS VERSUS WORD-HEARERS. “But be doers of the word, and
not hearers only, deluding yourselves.” *What deception is rampant among us
- even believers! Profession apart from appropriate and corresponding
action - is *deception*. Hearing and *doing* is the way of faith! *Your
:will be done, As in heaven, so on earth.*


 *4. 1:23-24 WORD-HEARERS - AND WORD ANALOGY. “For if any is hearer of
theword and not doer, HE is like a man beholding his natural face in a
mirror: 24
for he beholds himself, and goes away, and straightway forgets what manner of
man he was.” *As we are *daily* and hourly in Your Word Father, we are
continually confronted with the truth: that in our flesh dwells *no good
thing*! We lose *all* confidence in the flesh. *Our :daily :bread Give us
this day.*


 *5. 1:25 SUPERIOR MIRROR: LAW OF LIBERTY. “But who looks into the perfect
law, the law of :liberty, and continues, being not a hearer that forgets
but a doer of work, this man shall be blessed in his :doing.”
**Blessedness*is the path for the one who is both hearer
*and doer*! Write this law upon our hearts, Father. Do it by Your Spirit.
Circumcise our hearts. *And forgive us our :debts, As we also have forgiven
our :debtors.*


 *6. 1:26 VAIN RELIGION: AN UNBRIDLED TONGUE! “If any thinks himself to be
religious, not bridling his own tongue but deceiving his own heart, the
religion of this man is vain.” *Let this truth never be removed from our
clear understanding. A wagging, ceaselessly moving tongue, wants not sin!
Father, help us to keep our own counsel. *And bring us not into temptation!*


 *7. 1:27 PURE RELIGION: MERCY AND PURITY. “Pure religion and undefiled
before our :God and Father is this, to visit orphans and widows in their
:affliction, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world.” *Father, You
bless the man whose heart is open to the need of the orphan and widow. Yes,
You regard the prayer of the man who guards his life from the world’s
contamination. *But deliver us from the evil one!*


 *NOTE**:** The following message has been passed along through a “Harbor
Community Services” President - Wednesday August 29, 2012*


 “*Sorry to be so adamant about politics this year. But....*


 “*I agree **- reading this message from “Blue Cross Blue Shield” should
help you make your voting decisions.”*


 *August 28 2012 - This message has also been passed along by another with
the following note:*


 “*Reading this should help you make your voting decisions!”*


 *November 6, 2012 will be the most important date*

*that will affect the rest of your life …*

*The Choice is Yours.*


 *A Message from “Blue Cross Blue Shield” to ALL AMERICANS*


 *Re MEDICARE*


 *Look clearly at the 2014 rate compared to the 2013 rate.*


 *For those of you who are on Medicare, read the following:*

*It’s short, but important - and you probably haven't heard about in in the
Mainstream News:*


 “*The per person Medicare Insurance Premium will increase from *

*the present Monthly Fee of $96.40, rising to*


 *$104.20 in 2012*


 *$120.20 in 2013*


 *And*


 *$247.00 in 2014.”*


 “*These are Provisions incorporated in the Obamacare Legislation, *

*purposely delayed so as not to confuse the 2012 Re-Election Campaigns.*

“*Send this to all Senior**s that you know,*

*so they will know who’s throwing them under the bus!”*



 *Psalm of the day: 129:5-6 THEY HAVE AFFLICTED ME FROM MY YOUTH. “May all
who hate Zion be put to shame and turned backward! 6 Let them be like the
grass on the house-tops, which withers before it grows up.” *There *is* a
time of judgment for the wicked; there is a time of final justice. God is
just, and those who have reached the point of no return, for whom the die
is cast, shall meet with final retribution. You *are* faithful,
Father! *Hallowed
be your :name!*
