Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord…
Speak not evil one of another…
James 4:8-17
When I am humble in my human relationships, God sees.
When I speak evil of another, God hears.
Does that matter to me?
What does God see and hear as He “tracks” my human relationships?
We sure do hear a lot about all kinds of conflicts — personal, congregational, national, international.
Wars and rumors of wars and expectations of wars — collisions of interests and agendas and rights and plans popping up everywhere.
What’s with that?
Well, in this blog I don’t attempt to speak much to what’s happening in the world among the unredeemed. So…what’s with these things taking place in and among God’s people?
From whence come wars and fighting among you?
come they not hence,
even of your lusts that war in your members?Ye fight and war, yet ye have not,
because ye ask not.Ye ask, and receive not,
because ye ask amiss,
that ye may consume it upon your lusts.
