James 1: 27 Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.
James warns us about anger. We should listen lots and speak little. If we give into the lures of this world, our religion is worthless.
I am struggling this morning. I am finding my little world is polluted by my hurt feelings. I would like to go home and stay in my cocoon. I will stay here with the widow, the orphan who has no family left, and I will do my best to stay unpolluted.
Prayer: I need comfort. The world has hurt me. Help me to see the blessings You send me. Help me to stop chasing the acceptance of a polluted world and to be content with Your will for me.
Amen
