'Yet you don't have what you want because you don't ask God for it. And even when you ask, you don't get it because your motives are all wrong-you only want what will give you pleasure'
'Come close to God, and God will come close to you. Wash your hands, you sinners; purify your hearts, for your loyalty is divided between God and the world'
Here it is again, this stuff about loyalty to God and only God, we can ask God for anything and recieve it but only if we are sold out for Him and don't have a divided loyalty to the world! This is pretty much exactly what James wrote earlier in his letter, he practicaly repeats himself! And it something we really need to think about and be challenged on!
1 Timothy 2:6
'He gave His life to purchase freedom for everyone. This is the message that God gave to the world at just the right time,'
Jesus' life and death on earth was all ways planned, it wasn't an afterthought. God wasn't late, early, or just bored, and it wasn't all selected randomly! God planned it all perfectly and it's good to know that it did happen just at the right time.
