SAMPLE SCRIPTURE
James 4:17—So whoever knows the right thing to do and fails to do it, for him it is sin.

Read today's passage and open your heart to the Lord.
What stood out to you about this verse?
Were there any commands or instructions?
SAMPLE OBSERVATION
Too often we look at the lists in the bible about the things we are not to do because they are noted as sin. The list is endless, lying, cheating, envy, lust, hatred etc. This verse brings to light that there are things that the Lord desires of us and if we don’t do them we sin. The greatest example is the great commission found in Matthew 28:18-20. I must ask myself if this verse applies to me? If it does and I ignore it then I am sinning according to James 4;17. It is easy to rationalize this command and say it is for someone else but it is clear that going to the nations and making disciples is for everyone. And according to this verse if I ignore it, I am sinning against God’s commands.

In your journal, record what the Lord has shown you.
How can you apply this verse to your life today?
How can you live in light
of this truth?
SAMPLE APPLICATION
I must learn what my role is in going to the nations. It may not be to live there physically but there are so many ways I can help. I also need to take seriously this verse about the sin of omission. Saying YES at all times is critical for an update to date and intimate relationship with Jesus. I need to listen better!
