Friday - 9/28 - Read James 5:7-12
OK! Look around you as your read this blog. Is anyone in the room?
Why? Because I want you to be completely honest with yourself. Have you ever become so upset and exasperated that you were not being taken seriously with your words that you let out a swear word or two? It's OK to answer this--it's really between you and God.
That's what James is addressing in v. 12.
Do you feel that a couple of well placed curse words adds weight to what you're saying?
James says they don't, in fact, God condemns it.
James encourages us to simply allow our "Yes" to be "Yes" and our "No" to be "No."
This, again, requires faith. We trust God to use our words as He wishes, not as we wish.
What God wants to validate the truthfulness of your words with is your life being lived out for Christ.
