James urges people to get right with God to prepare for the return of Jesus.
James has shared some very blunt words, especially pointed toward the wealthy. I imagine this passage was more difficult to receive by the rich.
God is the righteous judge.
Wealth is a tricky tyrant.
Strengthen your heart!
God values endurance (v.11) and we should aspire to that long haul mentality in ministry. Do not give up.
Father, you alone are my strength.
