Can faith (alone) save him? For as the body without the spirit (or, breath) is dead, so faith without works is dead also. Thu, 09 Feb 2012 10:21:04 GMT http://www.be-happy-thru-wisdom.com/Wisdom-blog.html#James-1:22,25 But be you doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. But whoso looks into the perfect law of liberty, and continues therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed (or, doing).

But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. Then when lust has conceived, it brings forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, brings forth death. Tue, 07 Feb 2012 10:14:17 GMT http://www.be-happy-thru-wisdom.com/Wisdom-blog.html#James-1:5-8 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that gives to all men liberally, and upbraids not; and it shall be given him. But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavers is like a wave of the sea driven of the wind and tossed. For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.

So shall they be life unto your soul, and grace to your neck. Then shall you walk in your way safely, and your foot shall not stumble. When you lie down, you shall not be afraid: yes, you shall lie down, and your sleep shall be sweet. Fri, 03 Feb 2012 10:25:20 GMT http://www.be-happy-thru-wisdom.com/Wisdom-blog.html#James-1:26 If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridle not his tongue, but deceives his own heart, this man's religion is vain. (Think about this. By not bridling my tongue, I am deceiving MY OWN heart.)

Mon, 30 Jan 2012 10:20:58 GMT http://www.be-happy-thru-wisdom.com/Wisdom-blog.html#Psalm-33:6-9 By the word of the Lord were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth. He gathers the waters of the sea together as a heap: he lays up the depth in storehouses. Let all the earth fear the Lord: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him. For he spoke, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast.

Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the Lord delivers him out of them all. The Lord redeems the soul of his servants: and none of them that trust in him shall be desolate.

I sought the Lord, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears. The angel of the Lord encamps round about them that fear him, and delivers them. Wed, 25 Jan 2012 10:20:18 GMT http://www.be-happy-thru-wisdom.com/Wisdom-blog.html#Proverbs-24:10 If you faint in the day of adversity, your strength is small (narrow). In other words, my foundation is weak, and not stable, if I let the difficulties of the day get to me. I can see that I need to do some "foundation building and repair" by being in God's word more, and looking at the circumstances less.
