James 1-2

James challenges many of our hidden problems that we face. We don't want to admit that we depend on our wealth, but if it is taken away we bemoan the pain. We don't want to learn what God can teach us through trials.  Applying Biblical truths to our lives is difficult and time consuming. We don't want our prejudices exposed for the world to evaluate. We like our faith to be under our control; not guided by the spirit. I know that I don't like to admit to my lack of understanding in any situation. But James' letter is exactly what I need to review. Through his inspired words I will be introduced, and re-introduced, to the life changing truths God wants me to hear and adopt.
