Scripture


I want to get scripture more deeply inside me and I know we can do that by meditating throughout the day on key scriptures. 

You can put scriptures into an email to yourself so when you open your email throughout that day, those scriptures will be there and this will give you more opportunity to think on those scripture and do them.

James 3:17   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.

* without partiality:  Being partial can keep us bound to the wrong thing.  It is not wisdom from God.  Football and all sports fans are "partial" to one team.  They fret over that team.  They want the other team to lose.  Fans go through terrible stresses. Allowing yourself to "be partial" is not wisdom from God.  Even being partial to certain foods can lead you into a way that is not best for you.  To "be partial" makes you a judge on this earth.  It promotes pride.  And your judgment could be wrong unless it is from God.  The wisdom that is from God is without partiality.  That wisdom allows God to show you what is best for you.

* without hypocrisy:  Hypocrisy is play acting ... pretending one thing while another is true.  This is not wisdom from God to do this.
