Norma is at the other end of the country in Puget Sound with her cousins. I usually use these time for spiritual retreat. I'm in the book of James in the New Testament and finding some real practical stuff.
1. To be wise God's way, Live a life of steady goodness and don't brag about it.
Avoid jealousy and selfishness. That produces disorder and evil.
God's wisdom is pure, peaceful, gentle, yielding, merciful and full of good deeds.
2. If your goal is enjoyment, you'll miss God. So humble yourself, resist the enemy.
Draw near to God and He'll draw near to you.
Admit our dependence on Him and He will lift you up.
3. Don't speak evil of others. It's like criticizing God. God judges, so who are we to criticize?
4. Live day to day. Learn to say: "If God wills!"
5. Learn Job's patience. He endured and the Lord's plan finally ended in good.
