I got this in my email, and It spoke to me, because i times, i find i get jealous or angry at people for the things that have or the things that they do to me. I am so glad that i have posted this blog, cause, I too can come back and reread it and remind me.
Truths and Wisdom Weekly Devotional The Judge Is At The Door Dear Heavenly Father, I lift up my eyes to heaven and ask, glorify your children, so that we may glorify you. You have given Jesus power over all flesh, that He should give eternal life to us. Reveal to us this life eternal, that we might know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent. I pray that we finish the work which you gave us to do. I ask in Jesus name. Amen and amen.
James 5:1-9 Amp. 1 COME NOW, you rich [people], weep aloud and lament over the miseries (the woes) that are surely coming upon you. 2 Your abundant wealth has rotted and is ruined, and your [many] garments have become moth-eaten. 3 Your gold and silver are completely rusted through, and their rust will be testimony against you and it will devour your flesh as if it were fire. You have heaped together treasure for the last days. 4 [But] look! [Here are] the wages that you have withheld by fraud from the laborers who have reaped your fields, crying out [for vengeance]; and the cries of the harvesters have come to the ears of the Lord of hosts. 5 [Here] on earth you have abandoned yourselves to soft (prodigal) living and to [the pleasures of] self-indulgence and self-gratification. You have fattened your hearts in a day of slaughter. 6 You have condemned and have murdered the righteous (innocent man), [while] he offers no resistance to you. 7 So be patient, brethren, [as you wait] till the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits expectantly for the precious harvest from the land. [See how] he keeps up his patient [vigil] over it until it receives the early and late rains. 8 So you also must be patient. Establish your hearts [strengthen and confirm them in the final certainty], for the coming of the Lord is very near. 9 Do not complain, brethren, against one another, so that you [yourselves] may not be judged. Look!
The Judge is [already] standing at the very door. This passage of scripture is speaking to us today. Listen, to what the Holy Ghost is trying to tell us. Where do you fit in this word?
1. Are you weeping because the things you treasured no longer have any value?
2. Have you withheld from others what is rightfully theirs because of greed?
3. Are you living the pleasures of self indulgence and self gratification?
4. Have you condemned and murdered the righteous (innocent) man?
5. Are you patiently waiting for the precious harvest which shall come with the early and later rains of God?
6. Are you patiently waiting with certainty that the coming of the Lord is very near?
7. Are you complaining against one another? James tells us, “Look! The judge is already standing at the very door.”
We must all examine our selves so that we will be ready at the coming of the Lord. Which of these questions applies to you? Repent and receive forgiveness from the Lord. Set your heart, establish and strengthen it so that you may not be judged. Great is His mercy, great is His love, great is His forgiveness, great and mighty is He.
He is coming soon, look up for your redemption is drawing nigh, the judge is at the door. In His Abiding Love, Gail Keirsey I would consider it an honor to pray with you so that the promise of God will be fulfilled in your heart and life.
