Now listen, you rich people, weep and wail because of the misery that is coming on you. Your wealth has rotted, and moths have eaten your clothes. Your gold and silver are corroded. Their corrosion will testify against you and eat your flesh like fire. You have hoarded wealth in the last days. Look! The wages you failed to pay the workers who mowed your fields are crying out against you. The cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord Almighty. You have lived on earth in luxury and self-indulgence. You have fattened yourselves in the day of slaughter. You have condemned and murdered the innocent one, who was not opposing you.
James 5:7-9
QUESTIONS:
- What are some areas in your life where you need to ask the Lord for more patience?
PRAYER: Jesus, thank you that we can trust you in all things and can remain confident that you are always with us and for us. I ask today for an extra measure of patience in my life to endure what is hard and remain steadfast in what is good. Lord, help me to be like the farmer and have the perspective, perseverance, and patience to wait for the perfect fruit you want to produce in my life. Amen.
