But what KIND of patience does James call us to? A passive, weak patience? Nope.
He turns to the farmer first. Farmers work hard, have spiritual-callouses, know the principle that what happens in August depends on what happens in April. They know that August is WORTH it and is precious. There is patience in every day, a lot of "not yet today" in farming.
And look to the prophets. They are marked by faithfulness to the end, and suffering in the meantime. We want a patience that finishes well.
Listen patiently to 7 minutes of James making an argument and explanation of what spiritual patience is all about. Please comment and review and write bewithme.us or bewithme.us@gmail.com
