A Long Shot From Nothing.

Marla and I are wrapping up our study on James. And I can honestly say that I have rarely learned so much from such a small book in such a short amount of time. God is faithful, sister, to teach you when you are faithful to learn. Today, I just wanted to share a portion of my study with you. My heart needed to hear this. Maybe yours will too.


"...One of the hardest things our ears can ever hear is..."There's nothing we can do." Listen carefully to James and other inspired writers of Scripture: there is rarely nothing you can do. Being still and knowing He is God is a long shot from nothing. Trusting in a God you cannot see is a long shot from nothing. Holding your tongue is a long shot from nothing. Counting it ALL joy is a long shot from nothing. Submitting is a long shot from nothing. Confessing sin is a long shot from nothing. Resting in Christ is a long shot from nothing. And hear this one really loudly: PRAYING IS A LONG SHOT FROM NOTHING...We have an open invitation to a divine invasion. If we're willing, God is our song when we are happy, our escape when we are tempted, our hope when we are despairing, our joy in tribulation, our strength in weakness, and our immortality in dying. Ultimately, He Himself is our Health."
