Walk It out - Wait for It (8 of 9)
Series: Book of James

James 5:7-11
Just a couple of more weeks left in our series, Walk it Out, in the Book of James. I hope that you have found it challenging to your walk with Christ, and helpful to getting some things settled in your hearts! We have had some difficult passages to wade through, each of them shaping us to be more like Christ! If you have been a visitor with us in the past few weeks, thanks for making it through some tough subjects with us.
Today, we are going to be entering a different sort of tough subject, one that I think will prove to be surprising as we wrestle with it. We have finally made it to James 5 - there is so much we haven't been able to cover in this incredible letter to the churches, probably could add another month to do a better job of getting it all in! The Word of God is ALIVE - truly transformative when we get it into our hearts!
Turn in your bibles or smart devices to James 5...
The first 6 verses deal with the continuing heart of James to bring to light the reality that wealth and abundance bring a special accountability. We see this in several places in the letter to the church and talked about it a number of weeks ago. Suffice it to say that James has a strong opinion about how those with means are to use those resources.
Then, he makes a leap from that thought into our subject for the day.
James 5:7-11 (CSB)
7 Therefore, brothers and sisters, be patient until the Lord's coming. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth and is patient with it until it receives the early and the late rains. 8 You also must be patient. Strengthen your hearts, because the Lord's coming is near.
9 Brothers and sisters, do not complain about one another, so that you will not be judged. Look, the judge stands at the door!
10 Brothers and sisters, take the prophets who spoke in the Lord's name as an example of suffering and patience. 11 See, we cou ...
