Do you want to be perfect and entire, wanting nothing?
James 1:2-4 says
"Count it all joy when you fall into various temptations, knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. But let patience have her perfect work, so that you will be perfect and entire wanting nothing."
I've studied this scripture for years. It seems like everytime I ask God to show me something that I need to know that He leads me to this scripture! Thru the years I've learned so much thru these 3 little scriptures!
I wanted to share with you the latest revelation that God gave me concerning this scripture:
Notice in verse 3 that it says "but let patience have her perfect work..." I believe that means that it's our choice whether we want to continue to go thru the trial or not.
So many times when we are going thru something hard, we cry out to God and ask Him to deliver us from the trial. And I believe He does. I believe that He allows us to go thru these trials to show us what we need to work on. If you put more trust in money and your own abilities, God may bless you with something that you have to pay for, then take away your job. When you start worring and asking "what am I gonna do!?" then you should see that you are depending on money and your own abilities rather than trusting God to take care of you.
But instead, so many of "us" begin to worry and get upset, panicing and we begin to cry out to God to deliver us from the trial. He will do just that, BUT He wants us to see the problem. I believe it breaks His heart to deliver us from the problem when He knows that if we will just stay in the problem for a little while longer, letting patience have her perfect work, that we would learn how to be perfect and entire wanting nothing!
Whatever you are going thru right now, don't ask for God to get you out of it, but ask that He will show you what you need to learn from it, then be patient thru the trial! Wait for it to perfect you! So you can be perfect and entire wanting, lacking, or desiring nothing, cause you will know that no matter what! God will take care of you!
Thanks for letting me share this with you :0)
God bless you all!

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
Thank-you!
