☀️ A.M. James 3:13-18
13 - Who is wise and understanding among you? Let them show it by good behavior, {words,} and deeds, in gentleness and humility of true wisdom. [And from the Contemporary English Version - show it by living right and being humble and wise in everything you do.]
14 But beloved brothers and sisters, if you have jealousy, bitterness [pikros - acrid, sharp, poisonous bodily or spiritually(!) bitterness] and rivalry [eritheia - selfish ambition, strife] in your heart, don’t boast of it! And lie [pseudomai - lie, speak falsely, deceive] against the truth.
15 Such is not the wisdom that comes down from above. It’s earthly, unspiritual, and demonic. 16 For where rivalry [zelos - jealousy, to boil] is, there will be disorder/chaos and every evil thing!
17 But the wisdom that comes from above is, first of all, pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, and reasonable. It is full of kindness, mercy and good fruits. Wisdom that comes from above is impartial [adiakritos - without favoritism {moderate}] and sincere. {“Reasonable” - logos - reasoning, logos/logic. “Thy logos is Truth” Jn.17:17.}
18 A harvest of goodness will be reaped by those who sow peacefuLLy and make peace.
{Are we in a time of two gatherings? MT.13:30? In context is, “first” Rev.16:14-15-16 and simultaneous with first lake of fire mention (and Isaiah 24:20/Rev10:4) is (2nd) Mt.25:1-13. (And Zech.14:4, Is.35:1)
🌙 P.M. Luke 11:1-13
1 - Jesus was praying, and afterwards one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, like John taught his disciples.” 2 And so he said, “When you pray, say - Father, hallowed be your name. Let your kingdom come! 3 Give us each day our daily bread, 4 and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And let us not be led into temptation.”
5 And then he asked them, “Which of you if you have a friend, and you go to him at midnight and say, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves! 6 For a friend has arrived on a journey, and I have nothing to set before him’! 7 And he will answer from his house, ‘Don’t bother me! The door is shut, and my children are with me in bed. I can’t get up and give you anything.’
8 I tell you, though he won’t get up, because you’re his friend, but because of your insistence, he will rise and give to you whatever you need. 9 And so I tell you, ask, and it’ll be given to you. Seek, and you’ll find. Knock, and it’ll be opened to you. 10 For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks, it will be opened. 11 What parent among you, if your child asks for a fish, will instead give them a serpent? 12 Or if they ask for an egg, will give them a scorpion? 13 If you then, who are evil [ponéros - toilsome, bad] (a hamartian - imperfect) know how to give good gifts to your children — how much moRe — will the heavenly Father give his Holy Spirit{/Presence} to those who ask him!”
[2 Chronicles 7:14 - If my people will humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven, forgive their sins and restore their land.]
