I'm going to try to read through the whole Bible this year. Why don't
you join me? There are many different websites that offer reading plans
to read the Bible in a year. The one I chose is Read the KJV Bible in One Year. So for today, let's read chapters 1 - 5 in the book of James.
Special verse(s):
Chapter 1
"If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed." - James 1:5,6
"Blessed is
the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall
receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that
love him." - James 1:12
"But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves." - James 1:22
"Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world." - James 1:27
Chapter 2
"For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all." - James 2:10
"Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble." - James 2:19
"For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also." - James 2:26
Chapter 4
" ...know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God?" - James 4:4
"Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you." - James 4:7,8
"Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up." - James 4:10
"Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin." - James 4:17
Chapter 5
"Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you." - James 5:1
"Confess your
faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed.
The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much." - James 5:16
Note:
If you have a reading disability that makes it difficult or impossible
to read along with me this year, please consider going to Biblegateway.com and listening to the Bible. This is a great site with many resources, one of which is an audio version of the Bible
