James 2
Lynell McCrary
When is the last time that you “shuddered” over your belief in One God? The second part of James 2:19 says it this way: “Even the demons believe that (in one God) - and shudder.”
I have to confess that I can go through a day and not take time to look at God. You probably know what I am talking about…the times when it seems that the world around you pauses, and you find yourself in awe of HIM. Sure, I talk to Him, spend quiet time with Him and hear from Him. Yet when is the last time that you walked outside, lifted your hands in the air and “felt” Him?
Our human awareness of His presence should make us shudder. I would challenge you to walk outside, lift your hands toward the sky and feel His presence. It should make you shudder, not in a fearful way but in a reverent manner.
How long will you wait until you do it again?
When asked about a historical figure (not from the Bible) that she would most like to meet, Grace Covenant’s Connections Director identified Pat Summitt, the Tennessee Lady Vols basketball coach with the most victories in college history, to hear about her “leadership challenges, victories, defeats, growth times, anything that she learned from and/or celebrated…and her leadership style.”
