James 5 says in order to have a “Faith that Works” in these crazy times: 1. We need to be Patient for the Lord’s return. 2. We need to Pray. 3. We need to Praise God.
REFLECTION QUESTIONS:
- How can we be patient as we wait for the Lord’s return? (James 5:7 - Be patient, therefore, brothers, until the coming of the Lord.)
- What should we pray about in these difficult times? How can we become more focused on prayer? (See James 5:13-16)
- What do you think of Pastor EM Bounds quotes from over 100 years ago?
- “The earth groans; the world is still in bondage; Satan and evil hold sway…. Sin reigns, Satan reigns, sighing marks the lives of many; all tears are fresh and full. …Why is all this so? We have not prayed to bring the evil to an end; we have not prayed as we must pray.”
- “This is not a praying age; it is an age of great activity, of great movements, but one in which the tendency is very strong to stress the seen and the material and to neglect and discount the unseen and the spiritual.”
- “I think Christians fail so often to get answers to their prayers because they do not wait long enough on God.”
- “We must trust God today, and leave the morrow entirely with Him.”
CHALLENGE: Be Patient. Pray. Praise God. *Take some time to pray for our nation and world.
