James 1 KJV – James, a servant of God and of the Lord – Bible Gateway
James 1King James Version (KJV)
1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting.2 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;
3 Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.
4 But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.
5 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.
6 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.
7 For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.
8 A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.
9 Let the brother of low degree rejoice in that he is exalted:
10 But the rich, in that he is made low: because as the flower of the grass he shall pass away.
11 For the sun is no sooner risen with a burning heat, but it withereth the grass, and the flower thereof falleth, and the grace of the fashion of it perisheth: so also shall the rich man fade away in his ways.
12 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.
13 Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:
14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.
15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.
16 Do not err, my beloved brethren.
17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
18 Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.
19 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:
20 For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.
21 Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.
22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
23 For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:
24 For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.
25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.
26 If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man’s religion is vain.
27 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.

ITWS: Diligence & Accountability
Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our sins, trespasses and debts, as we forgive our trespassers and debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Thank you HEAVENLY FATHER, in Jesus the anointed Christ’s name, in and for all things to your glory LORD, Amen.
2 Peter 1:5-11
And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity. For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. But he that lacks these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins. Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall: For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

WHAT ARE WE DILIGENT ABOUT & HOW OFTEN DO WE TAKE ACCOUNTABILITY FOR OUR OWN ACTIONS?
Matthew 12:36
But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.Romans 14:12 So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.
Romans 3:20-26 Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin. 21 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; 22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: 23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; 24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: 25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; 26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believes in Jesus.
Exodus 30:14 Every one that passes among them that are numbered, from twenty years old and above, shall give an offering unto the LORD.
Ezekiel 18:20 The soul that sins, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.
Matthew 18:3 And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
Proverbs 20:11 Even a child is known by his doings, whether his work [be] pure, and whether [it be] right.
Isaiah 7:16 For before the child shall know to refuse the evil, and choose the good, the land that thou abhors shall be forsaken of both her kings

FATHER, May we remember that Jesus the anointed Christ, the WORD made manifest in the flesh, was given that we be vindicated of our sins, via propitiation—blood reconciliation unto you for a season, time and purpose under the heaven. May we never forget that time and chance happens to us all. FATHER of the 613,200 hours you’ve so graciously given us, let us learn to utilize this time in WISDOM, towards the completed work of our salvation. We ask that you enlarge our holy grounds as you increase your abundant blessings of life, love… keep us far from harm of daily arrows and nightly terror set as snares to entangle us in confusing states of mind (spiritual wounds), this we pray in JESUS the anointed Christ’s name, with advanced hallelujah thanks. AMEN.

#Chosen #Anew
There are 365 days ahead of us with tomorrow being the first blank page of twelve new chapters of our lives. May we write a good one via the authority of the Most High….May we be conscious of our surroundings: physically, empirically, emotionally and adept in discerning the ethereal elements present in this world.
May we love harder (deeper & with authenticity). May we unravel ourselves from anything set to deteriorate or lead us towards atrophy. May we renew ourselves in strength of JOY thru new mercies and daily loaded benefits. May we clothe ourselves in righteousness, arm ourselves in protection and position ourselves in God’s guidance; showing us the way of this tree of life, we have been given, whereby we are the chosen branches.
