'Tis Like

James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting. My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing. If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.-James 1:1-8***King Saul was an Israelite from the tribe of Benjamin. Saul was the 1st king to reign over all of the Israelites in the Promised LandDavid was an Israelite from the tribe of Judah. When Saul did not obey the commands of the Lord God, the Lord God sent Samuel, the priest, prophet and judge from the tribe of Levi, to anoint David to reign as king. After Saul's self-inflicted death on the battlefield, David reigned only over the tribe of Judah. After Ishbosheth was murdered, a multitude of armed Israelites from the other tribes went to David and secured his reign as king over all of the Israelites. Among the fighters who made the journey were 50,000 men from the tribe of Zebulun. The Zebulunites were united in their purpose, and none of them had a double heart. In Psalm 12, David, a psalmist, described the characteristics of people who have a heart that has 2 separate agendas. David was divinely inspired to write that such people speak empty words with smooth lips. Over 900 years after David died and was buried in the City of David, Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, was born. Jesus was conceived of the Holy Spirit in the womb of Mary, a virgin, and Jesus was born into the tribe of Judah to Mary and her husband Joseph when Mary was a virgin. Less than 33 1/2 years after Jesus was born to Joseph and Mary, Jesus was betrayed, arrested, crucified, buried in a tomb, resurrected, and returned to heaven. Sometime thereafter, the divinely inspired writer of the Epistle of James in the Holy Bible revealed characteristics of people who have 2 minds.-Genesis 11:26-50:26, Exodus, Numbers 20:1-29, 27:12-23, Deuteronomy 31:1-30, 32:44-52, 34:1-12, Joshua 1:1-4:24, 23:1-24:33, Judges 1:1-2:23, 1 Samuel 1:1-3:21, 8:1-31:13, 2 Samuel, 1 Kings 1:1-2:12, 1 Chronicles 1:1-34, 2:1-17, 3:1-24, 6:1-81, 8:1-40, 9:35-29:30, Psalm 12, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26, James
