January 22 Study - Chapter 2: Words, Words, Words
We all do it. It's as common as flies around a horse. While someone else is talking, we're thinking about what
we're going to say next instead of considering what is being said to us. We know others are worth more care and
attention. But the habit is hard to break. God wants us to slow down and listen too. But even when we've really
listened to him, we're still not done.
This study gives us practical help on listening to others and to the Word as well as help on how to put the Word
into practice.
Read James 1:19-27

Life's Most Important Choice
Any student of the Bible might
wonder why the book of Genesis
devotes more space to Joseph’s
life than to Adam and Eve, the first
couple, or to Noah, the hero of the
ark and the flood, or to Abraham,
father of the Jewish nation. I
Any student of the Bible might
wonder why the book of Genesis
devotes more space to Joseph’s
life than to Adam and Eve, the first
couple, or to Noah, the hero of the
ark and the flood, or to Abraham,
father of the Jewish nation. I
believe the answer is that Joseph illustrates one of life’s
most important choices: the choice to forgive.
Think for a moment what would have happened if
Joseph had not forgiven his brothers. Imagine that when
his brothers came requesting grain, Joseph had
answered, “You want food? Funny you should mention
that. Just today I was thinking about how much I wanted
food when you left me for dead in that stinking pit.”

About the Book
We all want a faith that won't let us down in times of
trouble or loss, uncertainty or fear. A faith that can
pull us through the worst--and best--times in our lives.
This is the kind of faith that James writes about. It is a
faith that we must practice day by day. These studies
by Andrew and Phyllis Le Peau on the teaching of
James will help us grow a steadfast faith that can
carry us through all the ups and downs of life.
Walking the Walk
Colossians 2:6 So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live in him,
7 rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing
with thankfulness. (NIV)
To walk the Christian walk requires we not sit idly by and let life put us in a wheelchair and push us around.
The truly surrendered heart is able to discern opportunities, weigh options, and take action to show others the
greatness of Christ. The truly surrendered heart is not a heart that has given up but a heart that is willing to
fight against every darkness and every adversity. There are daily opportunities in every person's life to walk
the rough road of life where others are falling down. However, it is tempting to want to be on the easy road
with others who are not having problems and difficulties. It is tempting walk the easy walk where money, things,
and selfishness rule the day. It is easier to be selfish than unselfish. It is easier to sit back and let others do for
us what we can do for ourselves. It is easier to live according to our rules than it is to live according to God's
rules. What is not easy is helping others who have difficulties, but it is God's will that you take that kind of
stand. What is not easy is to put aside your desire for money and things, but it is God's will that you put these
desires aside whether it is easy or not. It is not easy to be unselfish, but it is God's will you put others first. It is
not easy trying to live according to God's commands rather than your own rules, but it is God's will you follow
Him rather than living according to your rules. Although living for Christ is not easy, there is an eventual
benefit. The eventual benefit is a great new mansion built in a place where peace and love abound forever.
