I WANT PATIENCE – RIGHT NOW!

James 5:8 – Devotional

James 5:8

“You also be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand.“

We are living in such an “instant” age that the mere mention of patience flies in the face of our way of life. We have instant cash machines, instant check-out counters, instant income tax refunds, instant coffee … tea … pudding … mashed potatoes … (I was going to continue, but the mere mention of instant mashed potatoes made me sick to my stomach).

In the face of all the short-cuts to achieve our end result, we find that we have even less time for the important things in life than ever before. Not only that, the labor-saving devices we use find us so tired and exhausted at the end of the day that we walk and talk like robots. Our “time-saving” gadgets and gizmos have us running at a break-neck pace to get from appointment to appointment. What has happened?

The answer lies in the Word of God. In all of our efforts we have totally failed to develop the proper discipline of patience. We do not want to wait or slow down for anything. In the midst of our hectic, fast-paced schedules we are so busy making things happen that we leave no room for that all important “quiet time” of waiting to see what God is going to bring into being. Slow down and wait for God!

May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions and your patience!!

COME NEAR TO GOD!

James 4:8 – Devotional

James 4:8

“Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.“

If You Knew Suzie was a popular song in the 1920’s and 30’s. One line from that song, is spiritually revealing: She goes to church each Sunday, to sing and praise the Lord; but then come Monday, she’s as busy as a Ford.

Sadly the pattern of many so-called Christians is to act spiritual or righteous when around “church” people, but behave like the world the rest of the time. We deceive ourselves into thinking that we can compartmentalize our lives. It’s as if we call a “time out” to do our carnal thing, and then at our convenience return to being “nice.” God hates such double-minded behavior.

Sin is sin and God hates sin. We are to confess our sin before Him and allow Him to bring forgiveness and cleansing. Then we are to turn from our former ways and follow Him. This is the only way to get rid of the double-mindedness that plagues the church of Jesus Christ.

When we resist the devil, James says he will flee from us. We resist the devil by submitting to and focusing on God! Let God deal with the devil!

May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!
