plugger, James 1; is an extremely powerful reference for the US today I believe. Though I don't read the amplified Bible much, it is quite interesting how it interprets this Scripture. It says that we should treat our trials as friends and greet them when they come to our door.
I'm a New King James reader I just love Jack Hayford. It always amazes me as he edited the New King James version how many great teachers and theologians from different denominations are included. That's what attracted me the most.
Anyway, back to James one, this portion of wisdom has saved me more than once from the sinking ship of my own decisions and deductions. Count it all joy my brother when you fall into various trials knowing the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patients have its perfect work in you, that you may be perfect and complete lacking nothing. Keywords I've really pulled out of this particular Scripture are; fall, joy , trials, testing, perfect and lacking nothing.
Directly after that portion of Scripture is the asking of wisdom and how we can ask for it as often as we want, and let there be no doubting. But for me to ask for the wisdom of God is to ask for foolishness of the world. Because that's what the wisdom of God is in the world.
My personal feeling, not that it matters, is that the book of James is probably one of the most powerful instruction books for United States Christians of the day. Thank you for writing it down, may I not let it slip by, and let my heart and mind and soul marinate in this Scripture today. Val
