James 1

James 1:14-15 “Temptation comes from our own desires, which entice us and drag us away.  These desires give birth to sinful actions.  And when sin is allowed to grow, it gives birth to death.”

Just think about what is going on in our head for a minute, if you are like me random things just pop up.  It is so important for me to be full of the Spirit and learning daily so things that are pleasing to God get in my random thoughts.  What daily devotion does for me is slows me down to process everything before I just act.  I still struggle with anger but I am getting better because of my devotion.  I truly believe that we need to be willing to grow and move toward Christ everyday and seek God’s wisdom and apply it to our lives.  In James chapter 1 verse 22 it says, “But don’t just listen to God’s word.  You must do what it says.”

When we fill ourselves with God’s wisdom we have less crud to fill our lives. 

Verse 21 says, “So get rid of all the filth and evil in your lives, and humbly accept the word God has planted in your hearts, for it has the power to save your souls.”

When we listen to the Spirit we have a better chance to choose what is right and with the evil being removed we can truly grow.  Amen

This is so true Keith. The first thing that came to mind when I read this was a the thought of "Sin starts with Selfishness. I can't think of one sin that is not self centered. I also will have random thoughts in my head on a daily basis and I have noticed the more I am in the word, the less random thoughts I have.
