James 5:7-12
7 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 later rain. (NKJB)
what kind of patients is he talking about?
It it dangerous to go around judging and slandering each other.
It its no use depending on your own plans.
It does no good to cling to your wealth.
So what are you supposed to do when you face trials? - those are things we used to do when we face trials.
Be patient until the Lord returns - not for a short terms
You too, be patient and stand firm, because the Lord's coming is near. James 5:8
Like a farmer, it produces real results.
See how the farmer waits for the land to yield its valuable crop and how patient he is for the autumn and spring rains. James 5:7
There's a time to accomplish a certain thing and need to wait for certain things.
Farmer has to be a dependable people. He has to wait until the second rain.
We need to wait like the farmer, understand that there's nothing instantly.
Because the Lord is coming back to judge - our human nature is, to judge other people.
Don't grumble against each other, brothers, or you will be judged. The Judge is standing at the door! James 5:9
God's is going to settle out what's right or wrong.
We have no right to judge others coz we can only see the outside.
Because we don't want to be judged.
Don't grumble against each other, brothers, or you will be judged. The Judge is standing at the door! James 5:9
"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.
"Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank (wood) in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and the you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye. Matthew 7:1-5
Look at Biblical examples
A good reason to read your Bible.
Let's be reminded of Job.
He didn't know how it's going to end, but he was faithful to the Lord.
Doesn't mean all the trials will be gone, you just need to be patient for the Lord's answer.
About Honesty
Matthew 5:33-37
People these days are very "oath maker".
They tend to make quick promises, and find away to get out of it easily.
Christians should be know for their honesty.
When we say it, we should mean it and we do it!
