James 1:5-8 5 But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him.6 But he must ask in faith without any doubting, for the one who doubts is like the surf of the sea, driven and tossed by the wind.7 For that person ought not to expect that he will receive anything from the Lord,8 being a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways. Ask Without Fear Most of us have heard a variation of the saying If

James 1:1-4 1 James, a bond-servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, To the twelve tribes who are dispersed abroad: Greetings. 2  Consider it all joy, my brothers and sisters , when you encounter various trials, 3  knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. 4  And let endurance have its perfect result, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing. [NASB] The Promises Inside Your Trials The more endurance we have, the more perfect and comple

Astonishingly, what sparked my interest in the book of James initially was something I read in the first verse of the book, found in my NLT Bible version. It said, "This letter is from James, a slave of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ." I'm pretty sure what really brought me to the book of James was something I heard in a sermon, or a podcast of some sort, I can't recall exactly, but I know it was specific to James 4. However, I have this kind of niche and conviction, especi

I remember one of my professors in college once said to me, "Ebaisin, patience is a virtue." Well, if I am being honest, they might not have personalized it like that, but that's how I heard and remember it to this day hahahaha. I do believe that it is, but believing it doesn't make it any easier to embody. I'll admit it is hard to be patient, to have patience, especially in today's hustle culture. But patience is important, it's so important that it is considered one of the

“Relying on God has to begin all over again every day as if nothing had yet been done.” -C.S. Lewis If you have ever or currently struggle to trust the Lord, I assure you that you are not alone. That is why I love C.S. Lewis's quote above. I believe that building trust in the Lord takes time, and sometimes it involves trials, tribulations, triumphs, and even temptations. Nonetheless, as we develop our trust in the Lord, we are drawn closer to Him. In Isiah 66:12 it says "For

At this point, it feels a bit cliche to tell you that communication is key for the success of any relationship, but honestly, it couldn't be any more true. Of course, in many of our other relationships, we must also consider whether the person on the receiving end is practicing comprehension, active listening, and all the more, but frankly, bless-fully, we don't have to worry about God listening to us, He always is. Which makes strengthening our communication with Him all the
