Have you ever struggled to know what God wanted you to do in any given situation? Whether you’ve just given your life to Jesus or you’ve been following Him for years, living like He wants us to isn’t always as clear or easy as we’d like it to be. This four-week devotional will confront this very problem. James: The Walk of Faith will take on one of the biggest questions that all believers ask every day, “How should my faith in Jesus change the way I deal with ______?” Whether it’s sin & temptation, trials, wisdom, speech, money & possessions, time, or just the people around us, Jesus has a plan for how we should walk with Him. Our faith in Him, over time, should move us to live and look more like Him day after day. A relationship with Jesus is a lifelong journey, and in his short letter, James shows us how Jesus’ life and teachings should forever change the way we walk with Him through our lives.
