VE Day thoughts

Linking in with VE Day.....

James 4 v.1-4

*********

From where do wars, or conflicts, and fightings among you come from?

Don't they come from your lusts, or desires for pleasure

That war in your members {i.e. within yourselves}?

You lust, and have those desires for pleasure, and have not what you want

You kill, or murder, and desire to have, or covet

And cannot obtain what you want

You fight and war, or battle

Yet you have not, because you ask not {i.e. in prayer}

When you do ask, you don't receive what you want

Because you ask amiss, that you may satisfy it on your lusts, or pleasures

You are as spiritual adulterers and adulteresses

As if married to God and married to the world

Don't you know that friendship with the world is to be at enmity with God?

Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world and its ways

Is, or makes themselves, an enemy of God?
