"Greetings in the Name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for 8 June 2014, from Cindi, a daughter of the King of kings and Lord of lords."
Today's Bible Verse: James 5:11 "Indeed we count them blessed who endure. You have heard of the perseverance of Job and seen the end intended by the Lord--that the Lord is very compassionate and Merciful." (Today's writing will cover verses 7-11)
In verse 7, James urges believers to maintain an attitude of patience while suffering injustices. We as Christians, can afford to be patient even when provoked by the rapacious exploitation of the wealthy. Though every effort should be made to improve conditions and achieve justice. Believers must have a spirit of patient endurance, even in the midst of cruel treatment.
Few doctrines concerning Jesus are taught in James. His vicarious DEATH and RESURRECTION are omitted, YET Christ's return is cited to ENCOURAGE patience ENDURANCE. The Early Church lived in the EXPECTATION of the IMMINENT "Coming of the Lord." Their HOPE as well as us as Christians today, is that at His Second Coming. JUSTICE would be handed both to the OPPRESSOR and the OPPRESSED.
At the Second Coming of Jesus, wrongs WILL BE righted and believers WILL BE rewarded for their FAITHFULNESS to Jesus, Proverbs 14:14 and Matthew 5:12. Farmers in Palestine absolutely depended on two rainy seasons in the late fall and mid-spring for their crops. We like farmers, wait for harvest time, because we know that Jesus, the JUDGE, is "standing at the door."
After Job's terrible suffering, God BLESSED him with double of ALL the GOOD THINGS that he had before, Job 42. His example ASSURES us as Christians, that when the Lord returns to receive us unto Himself, we to WILL experience the "compassion of the Lord."

Jesus Reigns, and He Is, Has Been, and ALWAYS Will Be In Complete and Total Control!!! May we as Christians reach out to heaven with one hand and with the other reach out to the lost and dying of this world. May we like John at the close of the Book of Revelation say, "Come, Lord Jesus, Come."
Your Sister in Christ,
