Cling Journal: Drawing Closer to God Through the Book of James

The word of God can be challenging at times - not only hard to understand but hard to put into practice. We get convicted by something we read but conclude there's no way we can change. We see the higher standard but grow discouraged by our inability to get there. And when it's the book of James we happen to be reading - with its hard-hitting truths for Christian living - the challenges can be multiplied. But time in our Bibles is actually an immense opportunity to cling to God. Rather than grow discouraged when challenged by the word, you can take it to God. Instead of wondering what you need to do to change, you can pause and ask Him. And when James says, "Consider it all joy when you encounter various trials," you can be real with God about what you're facing - and ask Him to help you consider it joy. All the while, you are drawing closer to God. The Cling Journal will guide you to a closer walk with God, using verses from the book of James. You will find prompts - "Ways to Cling" - that are direct responses to particular verses. And every prompt is meant to take you to the Lord, through prayer, thanksgiving, and praise. The journal was designed as a companion to the YouTube Bible study on the book of James by Kim Cash Tate. But you don't need to watch that study in order to move through the journal. The only indispensable tool you need is your Bible. Infuse your time in the word with sweet fellowship with God. Cling to Him through the book of James.
