Daily Bible Reading — Sustained By God’s Word Of Wisdom預覽
September 20
Introduction
James issues a warning to the rich and calls attention to workers who are mistreated. He encourages his readers to be patient until the Lord returns and to pray in all circumstances.
Today’s Scripture: James 5:16b
The prayer of a good person has a powerful effect.
Today’s Reading
James 5:1-20
Reflect
James is not warning against riches themselves, but rather against those whose love of riches causes them to turn away from God and act in ways that are not pleasing to God (see 1 Timothy 6:10). Does his warning have any implications for today? What does James say about how we are to act while waiting for the Lord to return? What does he say about prayer? Have you experienced the power of prayer? Reread verses 19-20. What is the importance of bringing back someone who has wandered away from the truth?
Pray
God of wholeness and healing, help me to pray in all circumstances and to pray in accord with your will. Restore to your loving fold any who may have wandered away from your truth so that they once again may know and experience your love and grace. Amen.
Prayer Concern
Those in need of healing
Tomorrow’s Reading
Psalm 119:1-24: The opening of a psalm that focuses on the Law of the LORD.
