Do you get it? I'm not sure, we do!

Have you ever had a book of the Bible, to just come to your mind, for seemingly no reason? You haven't heard anybody mention that book or even yourself, not even recall what the text of that book was about. But, for some reason, the name of that book of the Bible, keeps resounding over and over in your mind, until you have to get your Bible out and begin reading from chapter 1, because you have no clue, what it is God wants you to see or hear. So you just start reading. I've had that to happen to me this week. Late Sunday night, the book of James came to my mind. I was watching TV and it was late, so I reasoned that I would check out James, maybe tommorrow. All during the night, my dreams were filled with people from my church family, weird disturbing dreams and the word "James" was like a broadcaster in the background, repeating over and over. Monday morning arrives and I know I will not find any peace, until I get my Bible out and read the book of James. There is such a feeling of urgency, that I forewent my cup of coffee and immediately sat down with my Bible. What was the book of James about anyway? For the life of me, I couldn't recall any of the text, who he was writing to or anything, it was like maybe I had never read the book of James. My heart is beating, I'm curious, but I'm scared....like being called into the bosses office and you're not sure why! Here we go, James Chapter 1: GENUINE RELIGION, Trials and Temptations, Listening and Doing. Chapter 2: GENUINE FAITH - Favoritism Forbidden, Faith and Deeds. Chapter 3: GENUINE WISDOM - Taming The Tongue, Two Kinds Of Wisdom. Chapter 4: Submit Yourselves to God, Boasting About Tommorrow. Chapter 5: Warning to Rich Oppressors, Patience in Suffering, The Prayer of Faith.

Wow, Chapters 1 - 4 were blistering for me! I was right to be scared, it's not easy or pleasant to face condemnation and correction. God's conviction on me was heavy and I read through it again.

Still, Monday night, my dreams are filled with my church family and the sound of the broadcaster, in the background, saying "you don't get it, go back to James!". Tuesday morning arrives. OK, I'm having coffee this morning! Settle down with my Bible turned to the book of James. "What Lord, is it, that I don't get?" "Yes!, I'm guilty Lord!" "Forgive me Father!" "Father, show me, help me understand, why it is, my mind can have no peace and I feel so broken and helpless!" "FATHER, HELP ME AND MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS....TO "GET IT"!" "LORD, I PRAY, THAT I NEVER FORGET THE TEXT, OF THE BOOK OF JAMES, AGAIN!"

IF YOU CAN'T PULL THE TEXT OF "JAMES" TO THE FRONT OF YOUR MIND, GO GET YOUR BIBLE NOW! IT'S URGENTLY IMPORTANT!
