On the Shores of Joppa
Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says.—James 1:22 (NIV)
In Scripture, Joppa was a port of departure for two men who heard the words from God and reacted in opposite ways. Jonah ran away from God. Peter obeyed. How do you react when you are facing a problem? Where do you stand on the shores of Joppa?
Lord, I long to make the right choices, to willingly follow Your instructions and obey Your Word.
