This past Saturday I was traveling back from Denver with a few friends.  We decided to read James 4 together as we were going to be studying the chapter in our young adult group the next morning.  I read from the NASB as well as The Message.  I really liked how The Message put verse 10 of Chapter 4 into a context that really hit me.  It actually brought tears to my eyes and was a challenging verse.  Here is the verse per The Message.

Get down on your knees before the Master; it’s the only way you’ll get on your feet.

Man.  What a great reminder.
