From James 1:5-6: “If any of you is lacking in wisdom, ask God, who gives to all generously and ungrudgingly, and it will be given you. But ask in faith, never doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, driven and tossed by the wind.”

Journey faces trials
Faith tested by each
Producing endurance
God shall faithfully teach
Wisdom found in God’s Word
Daily lessons speak
Granting transforming grace
Never doubt what He tweaks
Gracious God offers hope
Truth’s new direction
Walking on mercy’s path
Filled with Christ’s perfection
Taste Heaven’s purity
Spirit bringing forth
Trusting in risen Christ
Compass setting, true north
Harvest of righteousness
Sown with seeds to cope
Rising from Calvary
Spirit filled with Christ’s hope

From James 3:13: “Who is wise and knowledgeable among you? Show by your good life that your works are done with gentleness born of wisdom.”
This poetry reminds me that we probably will never be completely wise until we reach heaven. Our works are simply an outpouring of our gratitude for what Christ has done for us. Our hearts have been cleansed by His blood.

Daily lessons are what we all need. Learning new things daily serves to teach me how little I still know, but God is a faithful and patient teacher.

Jim, I appreciate your affirmation of the relevance of James 1 with this poem. Most of my Christian poetry gathers inspiration from the Word before my pen starts to create.
