It's the morning of one of the biggest days in history, the first African American president of the United Sates, yet the world around us continues to move at an alarming pace. Hamas promises to re-arm during the cease fire, our economy is likely to get worse before it gets better and for some, how much worse can it get? What do we do during these troubling times, were do we turn for help? James 1:2-8 gives us a look at how we should react or should I say not react, during trying times, "Count it all joy" these trails we all go through "testing of your faith produces patience," "if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God." If we ask without having the faith that God will give us the wisdom we seek, provide all of our needs, not give us more then we can handle, well then, "But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind, for let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord." James 1:6-7. Lets count it as joy and have faith that God will do just what he says he will.
Let's embrace this day of history, days like this don't come along very often, I can remember a few historic days of the past, the assassination of JFK, my mother just sat there and cried, I was to young to really understand why, the first man on the moon, our family's first color TV, the day I gave my life to Jesus. We all have different historic days we remember, some good and some not so good, but they all shaped us into who we are today. So whats the most important day you remember?
