—James 5:1-11
by: Jasmine Lynch.
This is a very encouraging text for those who are oppressed. It is a reminder that vengeance belongs to the Lord, and He will repay the rich who have oppressed their laborers. God sees and knows any injustice and corruption the rich have participated in; this is an appeal to His children to be patient. It is a reminder that God’s children should have confidence in preparing their hearts, knowing that the “coming of the Lord is at hand” (v.8, NKJV). You are not alone in your suffering. Remember Job and the prophets suffered and were blessed for their endurance. Check your own heart for injustice and corruption and trust God to take care of the rest.
