Daily Bible Reading – September 2022: "God’s Renewing Word of Wisdom"

DAY 29 OF 30

September 29

Introduction

James teaches about the source of fights and quarrels, desire for pleasures, and humility. He warns his readers about the consequences of criticizing others and boasting.

Scripture Reading

James 4:1-17

Today’s Key Verse: James 4:10

Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.

Reflect

What does James say about asking for things and why what we might ask of God is not granted (verses 2, 3)? Have you ever experienced what you believed to be unanswered prayer? If so, what was the circumstance? What are your thoughts concerning James’s statement that “to be the world’s friend means to be God’s enemy” (verse 4)?

Pray

Loving God, teach me to be humble, to put my trust in you, and to ask what is in accord with your will. Strengthen me to resist the devil and draw me near to you. In Jesus’s name, I pray. Amen.

Tomorrow’s Reading

James 5:1-20: James has a warning for the rich and encourages his readers to be patient until the Lord returns.
