JULY 31
James 1:4-“Let your endurance be a finished product, so that you may be finished and complete, with never a defect.”
Please remember to read “My Utmost for His Highest” for Today
God loves us enough to be persistent.
He cares about details of life.
Inconsistency are bad habits and wasteful
God blesses a sanctified life.
He might take us back to the old place.
We might need to deal with past pain.
Weakened by stubborn resistance.
Forgiveness offers His freedom to reign.
Be alert. Keep vigil. Be patient.
God is teaching us all every day.
Laziness is an insult to the Father.
Obey. Change your course. Don’t delay.
The joy will be well worth the journey.
The peace will be well worth the exchange.
Walk on with a teachable spirit
God approves the way that you’ve changed.

PONDER-God loves us enough to pursue us. About what is God currently pursuing you? What part does forgiveness play in this equation? Obedient forgiveness fine tunes the finished product. Endure the searchlight of His Presence and you will be complete in Him.
Journal the difference a teachable spirit makes in life changes.
Dear Lord, Thank you for the joy that comes when we submit to your searchlight. Forgive us for the times we have held on to things that we should have released in forgiveness long ago. Keep us from spiritual laziness. Thank you for loving us in spite of our stubborn frailties. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
