James 5:1-12 – James channels Israel's agrarian prophet Amos in this passage. Amos spoke truth to Israel, who took being God's chosen for granted, and became focused on themselves and their own advantage. James knows the same will happen to the new Christian church and that they must always keep the judgment of God in plain view. Today, we look at how keeping the end in view is essential in cultivating a hopeful patience that will allow God to teach us in the waiting.
