Devotion: The Epistle of James

Daily Devotion.

To me, the message of James in his letter is to be against wantonness/selfishness.  We are to not just listen to the word of compassion, but we are to go and be doers of the word (Chapter 1). Show no partiality to the rich, but extend your hand to the poor, the oppressed. Show it in your works. If any ask, give to them; don't just tell them "I hope for the best for you" (Chapter 2). Use our words to bless, not curse our neighbors. Show equality and kindness in your deeds, not selfishness and contempt (Chapter 3). Do not be overcome by selfishness at the expense of others, nor boastful about what you do not know (Chapter 4). Do not be overcome with the greed of the rich, whose glory is moth eaten. Be patient in the times of suffering, for peace will come. When praying for things, be faithful in it (Chapter 5).

Wantonness

Images glorifying wantonness are ubiquitous in our times. Even as one drives he or she is accosted by billboard advertisements that show the faces of wantonness: people in ecstatic postures with exaggerated smiles and gaping mouths, showing off their supreme happiness because they own a particular type of car or smoke a certain type of cigarettes or guzzle a special brand of beer - alcohol that destroys lives and the minds. According to advertising theory, when people are constantly exposed to such images, they not only incline toward the product but desire the culture associated with it. Advertises sell a lifestyle that glorifies wantonness and subtly dissuades reflection. All those smiling people on billboards and all those who aim their glances toward them will inevitably die someday and stand before their Maker. This is the ultimate destiny of all human beings. It is this realization that is the slayer of wantonness.
