Back to the Basics Devo Day 23 - August 23

Let’s GET BACK TO THE BASICS of reading James chapter 5 for the second time. The repetition of reading helps us to simply meditate on God’s Word, becoming more familiar each day.

Let’s ZOOM INTO Vs.7 -11 which focuses on the comfort of Jesus’ 2nd coming.
  • V.7 – “Be __________until the Lord’s coming” What does this look like? How would you explain this to a friend? ____________________________________________
  • V.8, 10, 11  – Who is held up as an example of patience? __________________. 
  • V.8c – What does it mean “the Lord’s coming is near?” Write an explanation in your own words ___________________________________.
  • V.9 – An application for our lives is “do not ____________ about one another.” Why is it not good to criticize or demean others?

PRAY IN RESPONSE TO THE WORD: “Abba Father, as I face the challenges of __________________________, I pray Your Spirit will fill me with patient expectation of Jesus’ appearing. The example of _________________ patiently enduring speaks to me. Help me to become more like this example, for I humbly pray in Jesus’ name, Amen.”
