The fields

“ Whom shall I send, And who will go for Us?” 

Isaiah 6.8

The fields are ready for the harvest, but if there's no one to reap, the fruits will eventually spoil. It's sad to see so many workers seeking to serve themselves. The Lord is calling out: people, help Me! Who shall I send, who will go for Us?

Friend

" And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, 'Abraham believed God, and it wasaccounted to him for righteousness.' And he was called the friend of God."
James 2: 23

Faith in practice makes a person justified, pure, and worthy of divine blessings. This is so because faith is nothing more than dependence on God. That's why Abraham was God's friend.

Swift and slow

"So then, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath..."
James 1: 19

This is a good advice for everyone, especially for the woman. She learns much more when listening more and makes much less mistakes when speaking less. With this, one avoids misunderstandings, especially at home.

Own desires

"But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed."
James 1:14


We have been privileged with the 'free will', but it is important to be extremely careful with your eyes, for some things considered 'normal' can easily entice us to sin. Let us watch!

Joy

"My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience."

James 1: 2-3

The Christian testing is not made out of health, family, or financial problems, but out of the cause we suffer for the Lord Jesus. Injustice, persecution, criticism because of our faith are just some of the trials we go through which should bring us reasons for joy. Rejoice in suffering for the cause of the Lord Jesus.
