Free Reading Plans and Devotionals related to James 1:17

James has a knack for highlighting common mistakes in the Christian life and drawing us back into a humble admission that we need God’s mercy every day. For those of us who feel lethargic in the faith or who fear that Christian progress as of late has been slow, if measurable at all, the letter of James provides real medicine — sometimes difficult to take but always good for you!

This plan walks through the Lord's Prayer in Matthew 6:9–13, where Jesus teaches us how to pray.

Wisdom is more than intelligence or insight. It is not simply mental but moral. It is understanding how to live God’s way in God’s world and then acting on that. Among the New Testament epistle writers, James is especially concerned that we take hold of God’s wisdom. As we put our faith in a gracious Father, He will give us the wisdom to walk in a way that pleases Him.

If it’s good, it must be God. Right? These days we tend to believe whatever seems good must be in line with God’s will. But is that all there is to it? If good is so obvious, why does the Bible say we need discernment to recognize it? In this plan, best-selling author John Bevere offers a new perspective on what it means to live the good life.

Faith is a precious gift from God. This video plan will show you what having faith means and how you can always put your trust in the unchanging, almighty God.

This plan covers the Book of James in 10 days with a devotional for meditative reading. The Book of James deals with wisdom for practical Christian living. Enjoy reading God's word and looking to Jesus who is our wisdom from above.

Set out on a 10-day journey to find overwhelming peace, a peace that only comes from resting in God's joy and relying on His strength and loving resources every day.

How should we respond to life’s trials? James’ letter delivers the answer: whatever comes, choose to live by faith. James digs into our struggles with temptations, unsound speech, conflicts, hardships and injustice. Trials are not meant to keep us weak and worried, but to make us strong. God-given faith includes power to transform our thoughts, priorities, decisions and relationships.

Jesus said, "By this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit and so prove to be my disciples." (John 15:8) This reading plan will help the financial disciple to meditate on how the fruit which the Holy Spirit produces works out financially in our lives. In the next 10 days, we will look at each of the characteristics of the fruit of the Spirit with their financial applications.

The purpose of fruit is to be picked and consumed. The Holy Spirit grows His fruit in us so we can nourish others. We shouldn’t think about our own benefit, and yet, exhibiting the fruit of the Spirit blesses us as well. The fruit of the Spirit involves our time, faith, and trust. As you read through this plan, you’ll learn how to cultivate God’s special fruit.

Meanwhile is the test of faith between a crisis and God’s visible intervention. I have learned that often a meanwhile can produce a mighty long and incredibly challenging mean-while. Such is the story of Joseph in the Old Testament. The historical account of this young man will convince you that when God is involved, He is more than able to turn your meanwhiles into miracles…just as He did for Joseph.

The Lord God is good and loves giving people good gifts. He offers us eternal life, righteousness, and the Holy Spirit in our hearts — and much more. He does not require any payment from our side. This reading plan will help you to learn what precious gifts God has for you!

You are so deeply loved. It is not even possible to measure the love God has for you. Experiencing God's love activates and empowers our faith. This 10-day plan will help you connect to the Father's heart and the power of His love. Let the love of the Father transform you from the inside out.

Men often talk a good game, but its our daily walk that shows our true character. In this Bible Study, you'll see how James challenges the church to put their faith to action, but also be encouraged to become a man of complete faith and integrity.

Deeper into Scripture is a methodology of scripture reading that instructs, encourages and equips people to read God’s Word daily and deeply. To accomplish this we have created a unique four-fold method of bible reading that directs the individual to read a short passage of scripture four times. Each reading is done with a different question, instruction or objective to be considered. This repetitive reading and instruction takes us deeply into the Word of God and draws us closer to Him.

Whenever we feel we have a better plan than God, we set ourselves up for disaster. Sadly, we often fall into this trap, assuming that God will act on behalf of the “right” people and against the “wrong” ones. In this 11-day plan, Alistair Begg dives into the story of Jonah, the Old Testament prophet who did not want to preach.

True faith produces fruit. A faith without action and without life change is ultimately a dead faith. The book of James speaks to the realities of a living faith in Jesus—the kind of roll-up-your-sleeves and get-your-hands-dirty discipleship that is borne out of an authentic relationship with the risen Lord. James writes to believers who know suffering, who've faced trials, and who ultimately desire a deep relationship with God.

The repeated cry of James is that faith apart from works can never be sustained. We should proclaim this truth because faith makes us doers of the Word, not just hearers. Faith keeps us humble, not proud; directs our tongues to bless, not to curse. Faith causes us to preach the good news to every tribe, tongue, and nation. This is the message of James: Faith/Works. Join Matt Chandler for 13 days going verse-by-verse through the book of James.  

The letter of James challenges, confronts and dives deep into what it means to be a Christ-follower. In this plan, we will dive deep into the wisdom that this letter brings forward. My prayer for you is that this letter will be a mirror to your soul as Christ is revealed through the Word of God.
