James 3-5

James had this message to those who were suffering … wait patiently for the Lord to come and make things right.

The racial and political struggles our nation is experiencing right now seem to be void of workable solutions. God has the answers. He sees all and wants each person to come to Him and let Him straighten out their life. The posture of a Christian should be to conduct themselves according to the simple and clear teachings of Jesus … and wait for Him to come.

Then suddenly the Lord you are seeking will come to his temple … But who can endure the day of his coming? Who can stand when he appears? For he will be like a refiner’s fire or a launderer’s soap. ³ He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver; he will purify the Levites and refine them like gold and silver. Then the Lord will have men who will bring offerings in righteousness, ⁴ and the offerings of Judah and Jerusalem will be acceptable to the Lord, as in days gone by, as in former years. [Mal. 3]
