I was reading this morning. I'm going to do something a little bit lighter. If you go to Ecclesiastes, chapter three, it's always good to know that there's a season for everything. And God chooses those seasons. God chooses those times.

I was reading in James again and I'm going to go over pretty much exactly what I went over yesterday because it just is hitting right now. If you go to James, chapter one, verse one: James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greetings. My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into diverse temptations, knowing this. And just so you know, temptations is actually the word trials or being tempted. And in a good sense it ascertains the character or your views or your feelings. It's to be put to the test.

James, you always have to know who the word is written to. And this is written to the twelve tribes.

James is literally about acting upon your belief, acting upon your faith. If you go to chapter two, verse eighteen, it says, a man may say, thou hast faith, and I have works. Show me thy faith without thy works, and I will show thee my faith by my works. You got to act this stuff out. You got to believe God's going to take care of it, and you have to walk forward by your works.

And that expectation of future good will not cause shame. We have a good God, man. We have a good God. And when you give reverence to God, when you give that reverential awe to God, you're going to see him more in your life every time.
