James 5:1 \u2013 3\/26\/2008<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Look here, you rich people: Weep and groan with anguish because of all the terrible troubles ahead of you.“<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Since we are not here yet … save this in the back of your bible and read it when you are there. It’s got some good stuff on why rich get themselves in trouble!! \ud83d\ude42<\/span><\/p>\n

James 5:9 – "Don\u2019t grumble about each other, brothers and sisters, or you will be judged. For look\u2014the Judge is standing at the door!<\/span><\/p>\n

James 5:7-12 is what affects us now!\u00a0 When we are going\u00a0through hard times – or just waiting for the harvest, we need patience and endurance.\u00a0 Everything will come in its time.\u00a0 So rest easy!\u00a0 Also when times get tough, rejoice because they are making us stronger.\u00a0 Why is it when everything is hunky dory we seem to forget to praise God and somehow think we had something to do with the good times? The key to verse 9 is not to get hung up about trivia.\u00a0 We tend to be envious about others when our times ar tough.\u00a0 We tend to get upset easier at these times.\u00a0 We … (can I get a "But DAD ???) are all guilty of this a good bit of the time.<\/span><\/p>\n

"Don’t Worry … Be Happy” (or keeping with a reggae theme, “every little thing’s gonna be all right”) … Look at the hardship and just have hope that when it’s all over, you will be saying WOW!\u00a0 Crazy how that happened.\u00a0 And there will be emotion and excitement!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We will talk about the solution as we finish out James tomorrow.<\/span><\/p>\n

Proverbs 23:5 – “In the blink of an eye wealth disappears, for it will sprout wings and fly away like an eagle.”<\/span><\/p>\n
