An Evangelism Thought...
“Is anyone among you in trouble? Let them pray. Is anyone happy? Let them sing songs of praise. (James 5:13)
James calls us to acknowledge that God is the source of all good things, and is our only hope when things are bad. We see the instruments that God uses and too often assign the credit there instead of where it truly belongs.
