Meditating in James.

Yesterday I was able to see one of my Sisters in Christ.  I was so encouraged to see Erin.  We spoke, we prayed and we shared the insights we have been getting from scripture. It was unforgettable to see so many precious people on Thursday evening.  This just reminds me that even when I am far away from my precious friends, we know that prayer holds our friendship.

 I have enjoyed reading the epistle of James.

James 1
 ¹²Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.

James 4
 ⁶But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.
 ⁷Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
 ⁸Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.
 ⁹Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness.
 ¹⁰Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.

 James 5
 ⁷Be 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.
 ⁸Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh.
