BE PATIENT
James 5:7-11
Therefore be patient, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, waiting patiently for it until it receives the early and latter rain. You also be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand.
Do not grumble against one another, brethren, lest you be condemned. Behold, the Judge is standing at the door! My brethren, take the prophets, who spoke in the name of the Lord, as an example of suffering and patience. Indeed we count them blessed who endure. You have heard of the perseverance of Job and seen the end intended by the Lord—that the Lord is very compassionate and merciful.
Encouraging Words
This passage presses us to be patient in all that we do and in our anticipation of the return of our King. In today's culture, which is all about instant gratification, it is difficult to slow down and be patient. But in that patience we can find peace that our God desires for us to experience His compassion and mercy As we exercise patience with those around us we experience Gods' blessings and are able to endure that which is going on around us. Glory be to God!
