Dear all,
I've been constantly experiencing the livelihood of the Scripture in my life as I continue to memorize the book of James bit by bit... and when I say bit, I really mean it (...sadly).
Not too long ago, perhaps last week, I was cast down with a particular trial in my life. But then, truly with the grace of God, I was being reminded in an instant that the trials I face in life are all meant by God for me to develop perseverance, which will then make me more mature and complete. The reminder was straight out of James 1:2-4-- the part of scripture I was memorizing last week.
With God's perfect timing, this particular trial has not left me...
Just a couple of minutes ago, I became doubtful of God, thinking whether he will really be in control and whether he will give me his wisdom. Then, instantly, James 1:5-8 popped into my head, reminding me that those who doubt are like waves of the sea that are driven and tossed by the wind, for they are not rooted in God's wisdom. Once again, I was calmed by the living, God-breathed scripture, knowing that he gives generously without finding fault and all I need to do is have faith and not doubt... And James 1:5-8 just so happened to be the scripture I'm memorizing now...!
Isn't He amazing for knowing exactly what and when I will need what?! He simply amazes me for being so mighty and all-so-knowing. Praise Him!
A warm suggestion: If you're not currently memorizing the scripture... do it!
:D
Love,
Anna
