“ Waiting”- I don’t know about you, but I become irate when I must wait. It’s at this time I realize just how low my patience level is. As children of God, it sometimes becomes even more frustrating when we must wait for something we have been praying for because God the Father has tremendous patience and it’s a characteristic he wants each of us to develop. Waiting can be our friend, or it can be our foe, it can be positive or negative, it can be joyous, or it can be full of sorrow; ultimately the choice is yours.

Examine the book of James in three parts: the test of faith, the characteristics of faith, and the triumph of faith. Faith without works cannot be called faith. Faith without works is dead, and a dead faith is worse than no faith at all. Faith must be there, but it must be more. It must inspire action. Throughout his epistle to Jewish believers, James integrates true faith and everyday practical experience by stressing that true faith must manifest itself in works of faith.
