JAMES 4.17 ESV

So whoever knows the right thing to do and fails to do it, for him it is sin.

Sin of Personal Omission

Knows the right thing to do

Fails to do the right thing

Doing What You Should

Is getting a low test score a sin?

Is not doing your homework a sin?

Page 24: Habits: Building Good, Breaking Bad

1 CORINTHIANS 10.13 ESV

No temptation has overtaken you that is

not common to man. God is faithful, and

he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he

will also provide the way of escape, that

you may be able to endure it.

Temptation

What’s the right way to deal with temptation?

Years ago I responded to letters within a

couple of weeks and kept my

correspondents happy. Then came the

fax machine, and they seemed content

with receiving a response within a

couple of days. Today, with email, instant

messaging, and mobile phones, a

response is expected the same day!

“Be still, and know that I am God.” In this familiar

verse from Psalm 46 I read two commands of equal

importance. First, we must be still, something that

modern life conspires against. In this hectic, buzzing

world, even a few moments of quiet do not come

naturally to us. And stillness prepares us for the

second command: “Know that I am God; I will be

exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the

earth.” In the midst of a world that colludes to

suppress, not exalt, God, how do I carve out time

and allow Him to nourish my inner life?

“Prayer,” writes Patricia Hampl, “is a habit of

attention brought to bear on all that is.” Ah, prayer

. . . a habit of attention. Be still and know. The first

step in prayer is to acknowledge or to “know” that

God is God. And in that attention, that focus, all

else comes into focus. Prayer allows us to admit our

failures, weaknesses, and limitations to the One

who responds to human vulnerability with infinite

mercy.

Dear Lord, help me to be still. Nourish my soul as I

spend time with You in prayer.

In prayer, God can quiet our minds.
