James: Matures our Faith
Representative Scripture: James 1:2-4
Mindi's Reflection
James is the proverbs of the New Testament, portraying Christ as our pattern. James looks at faith from a practical, human perspective. Faith in God is shown through our actions, not just in words, but is matured through our character and daily lives. I wanted to show both positive and negative imagery mentioned in James as metaphors for the instructions mentioned in the book. It was hard to choose, but these were some that stood out for me: in all the paintings, I love how the Lord can speak of other areas in the Bible as you look at the imagery. Let him speak and weave more layers together as you meditate on the painting.
