It is hard to believe we are just 5 weeks from Thanksgiving and 9 weeks from Christmas. I remember thinking about this year back in November and December of last year wondering what Book would bless the Victory Call readers through 2011. I believe James has been a good place to dig deeper. One of my favorite Bible books and one with much practical theology. I hope you have joined us when you could and have been blessed by God’s Word as you considered, pondered and applied its truths – His words, not mine. This week we touch on a topic that applies to all of us to some degree.
Do not grumble against one another, brothers, so that you may not be judged; behold, the Judge is standing at the door. James 5:9
Commentary
“Fretfulness and discontent expose us to the just judgment of God, and we bring more calamities upon ourselves by our groans and grudgings against one another, than we are aware of.”[Matthew Henry’s Commentary in One Volume – pg. 1937]
“Do not grumble sums up the divisive complaining behind 3:1-4:12, it can be particularly painful in times of suffering when people explode in frustration and turn upon each other.” [ESV Study Bible study notes – pg. 2398]
Happy Monday. Please take a moment and pray for Keswick’s finances, that God would provide the resources so that we can be current with our bills. We so appreciate your partnership.
Blessings,
Diane
