Father God, how I love the Book of James. His letter is often misunderstood and, in fact, Martin Luther called it a "gospel of straw". Help us, Father, to not go into the ditch on either side of the issue of faith and works. Yes, we are saved by faith through grace, and not by anything that we do. And, if we are truly living by faith, there should be a difference between us and nonbelievers. Jesus said we would know people by their fruits. So, let our faith be made manifest in the works that we do, always giving You the glory. Help us to bridle our tongues, and to endure our trials with patient and joyous expectancy. And help us to learn to pray with the insistence and earnestness of Elijah, giving You entrance to work wonders in the earth. Amen
