We Need To Slow Down!
James 5

In James 5, we are called to observe the farmer who waits patiently for both autumn and spring rains, knowing the harvest will come. The farmer cannot rush the seasons or force the crops to mature faster. He must trust the process and remain faithful in his work.
Our spiritual lives operate similarly. We plant seeds of obedience, water them with prayer, and wait for God's timing. Impatience says, "I need results now." Faith says, "God is working even when I cannot see it." Job's story reminds us that perseverance through suffering leads to blessing, for the Lord is full of compassion and mercy.
What are you waiting for today? A healed relationship? Physical healing? Financial breakthrough? Stand firm. The Judge is at the door, and your patient endurance honors Him.
