How are your reflexes?
When things go adrift, when you are hit with a sudden jolt, how do you respond?
What is your automatic reflexive action? Is it anger, looking for blame, is it depression or all of these combined and wrapped in a basket of confusion?
It’s when your life hits a speed bump that we find out what spills out of us! What the foundation of our life sits on – shaky or solid, worldly or godly.
James gives us some magnificent advice that the Holy Spirit had him pen for us for such situations.
James 5:13 Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray. Is anyone cheerful? Let him sing psalms.
…16 … The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.
In the time in which we now live we need to draw closer to the Lord, embed ourselves in His Word so when trouble hits our first reflex is to pray!
May you tomorrow and the rest of this week have the reflex of prayer as an automatic response!
