James 3 : 9-18

   
9 Therewith bless we God,
even the Father; and therewith curse we men,
which are made after the similitude of God.
10 Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing.
My brethren,
these things ought not so to be.
11 Doth a fountain send forth at the
same place sweet water and bitter?
12 Can the fig tree,
my brethren, bear olive berries?
either a vine, figs?
so can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh.
13 Who is a wise man and endued
with knowledge among you?
let him shew out of a good conversation his works
with meekness of wisdom.
14 But if ye have bitter envying and
strife in your hearts,
glory not,
and lie not against the truth.
15 This wisdom descendeth not from above,
but is earthly, sensual, devilish.
16 For where envying and strife is,
there is confusion and every evil work.
17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure,
then peaceable, gentle,
and easy to be intreated,
full of mercy and good fruits,
without partiality, and without hypocrisy.
18 And the fruit of righteousness is
sown in peace of them that make peace.




Today's Prayer...


Dear Father in heaven,

In your Word we trust,
in your Word of eternal life,
given us in Jesus Christ our Savior.
We build on this Word of life in these days
when it seems that everything is losing strength and value,
and yet there is so much longing in people’s hearts.
You will not let our hope be disappointed.
What you have spoken must be fulfilled.
What is promised in Jesus Christ must come into being,
not only for a few but for the whole world,
for which he died and was raised from the dead.
Be with us.
Keep us so fully alive that our lives reflect all
the goodness we are allowed to experience
and we overcome all the evil which tries to attack us.
We thank you for calling us to life and for renewing
us again and again.
May your name be praised among us forever.



In the Name of the Most Holy we
pray in Jesus' Name

Amen
