Read 1 Peter 5:8-9 (https://bit.ly/2zU97hw)

The Book of James is a letter written by James, brother of Jesus, with an overall theme of patience and perseverance during our trials and temptations. James wants to encourage believers to live out our faith, not just speak the words, but to get down and dirty and do what we were taught by Jesus. All of us want the same ending, a deep and personal relationship with God. But we’re going to face the enemy. Like Apostle Peter says, the Devil prowls like a roaring lion just watching for someone to devour. We can find strength and courage by holding onto our faith and knowing that there is an army behind us, an army of other believers fighting the same battles we are. Think of someone in your life that may need that reminder. Go and link arms with them, get dirty and bring them into our family by sharing the love of God.
