Title: No Alibi!

-
Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin. James 4:17 KJV
Devotion: Apostle James was teaching morals to the people all over the world including you and me. He discussed why people ask and did not receive vs 2-3 because they ask amiss. He also made us to understand that love of the world (vs 4) is enimity with God because we cannot serve two masters.
 James thought us not to be proud but to submit ourselves to God and let God direct us. We should not speak evil of another person neither should we judge because judgement is of the Lord. We must not grumble when faced with law of God rather we must obey the law and do right always. 
  We must acknowledge God always and know that God rules in the affairs of men, therefore we must not boast of what we will do tomorrow. We should only say if God wills I will do this or travel to some place.
  Having thought us all these James made us to understand that there is no denial. We do not have alibi that we are not aware. We will be judged accordingly therefore let us do right always. In the affairs of men "I don't know or I am not aware" is not acceptable in the court of law. So will it be on the judgement day.
 Dear reader what is your thought on this? I am your friend Dr Joel Olanrewaju visit my page at ojaysjoel.blogspot.com for more devotionals. Hallelujah.

Title: When your time shall be over, you'll fly away.

-
Psalms 90:10  The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away. Devotional: Late music legend – Peter Tosh sang a song with this title many years ago. It came to mind yesterday while I listened to a beautifully delivered sermon at a burial. I therefore penned this devotional on same title. Do not be deceived, at a point in your life you’ll fly away.   There comes a day when the tapestry of your earthly existence is folded. The moments of struggle, joy, triumph, and trials will all coalesce into a story complete. When that time comes, the soul, unburdened by the weight of the mortal frame, ascends beyond the veil of this world—taking flight toward eternal rest.   You are not bound to the temporal; your essence is celestial. As the Psalmist declared, "The days of our years are threescore years and ten...it is soon cut off, and we ...
