Living what we believe
June 5, 2020
Very likely, today, you are trying to get your life back. Much of our country is open again, or almost. What have we learned? Can we really get our life back?
The book of James encourages us in times of testing to live without hypocrisy, favoritism, speaking ill of others. Were we tempted to do those things in lock down? Yes, we are by nature selfish. We have a better option. Live humbly, be content, and pray in all situations.
This past test has given us great opportunities to do just that. Live humbly. Don’t exalt ourselves, be content with less choice of activity, food, entertainment, and more. Consider others and their needs before our own. In other words, live what we have been taught when it is not so easy.
