From Job 5
17“Behold, blessed is the one whom God reproves;
therefore despise not the discipline of the Almighty.
18For he wounds, but he binds up;
he shatters, but his hands heal.”
I find such comfort in these words. The consequences of my actions are not the end of the story, but the growing grounds for His discipline and mercy and intervention to restore truth in my heart and shape it into His likeness. I’m praising Him today for caring enough about my heart to meet me with mercy! -

Just reflecting on James 2:14-17 and wondering this: few of us in the west have friends in literal rags and starving. So it can be kind of easy to acknowledge and then gloss over that part. We may have friends who are in poverty or going through a financially challenging time. In which case, we can take this part literally. But, if this chapter were written today, what example might James have used instead? Could our half starved/rags friends also be the people in our lives who are emotionally half starved or wearing rags of shame in their lives? What are your interpretations/am I overthinking it?

This is a great thought. When James refers to a brother or sister that can mean anyone—not just a friend. The reality is there are people all around us struggling financially. I think the passage is focusing on the poor but definitely the poor in spirit can be read into it!

7“Remember that my life is a breath;
my eye will never again see good.
8The eye of him who sees me will behold me no more;
while your eyes are on me, I shall be gone.
9As the cloud fades and vanishes,
so he who goes down to Sheol does not come up;
10he returns no more to his house,
nor does his place know him anymore.Plane Crash ♥️
God, reveal yourself to me. Reveal yourself. Show me you are here.
