—James 1:12-17
by: Aubrey Appel.
We are wrong to blame anyone but ourselves for falling into temptation and sin. We are wrong to give credit to anyone other than God for blessings and good gifts. James is telling us not to be deceived or confused about where good and bad reside. Good comes only and always from God who gives us all kinds of awesome things including a crown of life if we persevere under trial. We need to follow God’s perfect example of giving good things. God does not waver in His giving of good gifts, and neither should we. We can always have faith that our Father will give us good things.
