James 5:7

Courageous patience

7 Therefore, brothers and sisters, you must be patient as you wait for the coming of the Lord. Consider the farmer who waits patiently for the coming of rain in the fall and spring, looking forward to the precious fruit of the earth.

James 5:7 In-Context

5 You have lived a self-satisfying life on this earth, a life of luxury. You have stuffed your hearts in preparation for the day of slaughter.
6 You have condemned and murdered the righteous one, who doesn't oppose you.
7 Therefore, brothers and sisters, you must be patient as you wait for the coming of the Lord. Consider the farmer who waits patiently for the coming of rain in the fall and spring, looking forward to the precious fruit of the earth.
8 You also must wait patiently, strengthening your resolve, because the coming of the Lord is near.
9 Don't complain about each other, brothers and sisters, so that you won't be judged. Look! The judge is standing at the door!
