James chapter 1

Chaper summary: Do not become poluted by the world.

Testing of your faith develops perseverance. When you pass the test you receive the crown of life.

Ask God for wisdom. Wisdom is knowledge in practice.

We are tempted by our own evil desire. Desire that is conceived gives birth to sin. Sin grown up gives birth to death.

Act on your faith.

Commit to the Lord

Proverb 16 says "Commit to the lord whatever you do in your plans will succeed. "

This begins with committing to the Lord. After commitment comes planning. After planning comes success. This is a chain of events that begins with the Lord and his will and ends with success. If we break the chain we miss the blessing of success.
Note to self. Know the will of the Lord. Don't forget the lord in your plans. Don't forget to plan.
