Friday: Maintaining Pure Religion

Scripture: James 1:27 (NIV)

Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.

Devotional: Our faith is reflected in our actions. Today, reflect on your acts of kindness and service to those in need. Also, consider how you can guard your heart from worldly influences. Pure religion combines love for others with a commitment to holiness.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, help us embody pure religion by caring for those in distress and remaining untarnished by worldly values. Let our actions reflect Your love.

Reflection: How can you actively practice pure religion by reaching out to those in distress and remaining untarnished by worldly values?
