The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance [to the full, till it overflows]. (John 10:10, AMP)
We are wrapping up our James study this week. We will finish with James 5. Feel free to read it! This week, the devotionals will be a little lighter as I have family coming to town. Today, I thought I would share a passage of Scripture with you that puts James 5:1-6 into perspective.
For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus. (1 Timothy 2:5)
Today I was in the grocery store, waiting at the deli for a pound of turkey. There was another man who had asked for a pound of turkey right after me, only he had asked for “cracked pepper turkey” and I had asked for “garlic and herb turkey”. The woman who was helping him reached for the turkey that was laid out for me and went to use this for the man. She was about to give him the wrong deli sliced turkey to take home. I leaned in and let her know what kind of turkey it was and the simple mistake was easily straightened out.
