DAILY BREAD OF LIFE

(KJV.)  JAMES 5:7-9

(7)  Be Patient,  therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord.  Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain.
(8)  Be ye also patient:  stablish your hearts:  for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh.
(9)  Grudge not one against another,  brethren,  lest ye be condemned:  behold, the judge standeth before the door.

PATIENT BUT READY!

Brethren, doing the will of Jesus Christ, requires patience and tolerance;  the journey is not easy, as there are pitfalls, traps set up by the enemy to destabilize, derail, obstruct destinies;  no matter how difficult the journey of faith may be, let us be encouraged to never throw in the towel, give up, walk away from doing the will of the one who called us out of darkness into his marvelous lights; rather, persevere, forbear, push against all odds, pray fervently, praise and worship the Lord, wait patiently for deliverance;  for the day of Jesus Christ is at hand, when hardships, aches, pains will cease in the believer's lives.

As our callings into the body of Christ differs from one another, likewise our sufferings differ from one another;  regardless of how we suffer for righteousness sake, Apostle James encourages us to be patient in sufferings, continue to persevere, do the will of Jesus Christ, sow seeds, wait patiently for the early and later rain, that we may receive the abundant harvest;  for Jesus Christ is coming back soon to reward each and everyone according to works:  as we wait upon him, let us not grow weary, tired in well doings;  instill our hearts, continue to position ourselves in him, be readily available to receive his eternal rewards.

CONCLUSION:

Dearly, Beloved, while we wait upon Jesus Christ to receive our blessings, avoid these three life loopholes where enemies penetrate, lure souls into subjection to evil works; the lust of the flesh, the eyes, and the pride of life. cf. 1 John 2:16;  if we perceive the prosperity of others, never feel resentful, envious to bring condemnation upon ourselves;  rather rejoice with them, in anticipation that very soon, we will receive the blessings of Jesus Christ, and rejoice as well:  King Solomon, the Preacher wrote, to everything there is a season, a time to every purpose under heaven, ....a time to weep, a time to laugh, a time to mourn, a time to dance, etc.cf Ecclesiastes 3;  whatever our seasons are today, good or bad, let us rejoice, be happy, make the most out of life.  Ready!  Peace be unto you!   Amen and Amen!
