Application

I picked up a book I haven't read since high school. It says:

The letter of James shows one of the church's early pastors skillfully going aout his work of confronting, diagnosing and dealing with areas of misbelief and misbehavior that had turned up in congregations committed to his care. Deep and living wisdom is on dislay here, wisdom both rare and essential. Wisdom is not primarily knowing the truth, although it certainly includes that; it is skill in living. For, what is good is a truth if we don't know how to live it? What good is an intention if we can't sustain it?

- The Message by Eugene H Peterson
It was a book my big uncle and aunt gave as a christmas gift

With prayers during hard times or reading The Book when emotinally struggling, it is not in its full use when wisdom is not applied daily.

Stuggled with an issue today and felt soooo down. I feel a bit better now and hopeful. God is soo good to rely on.
