James 5:7-8 AMP
[7] So wait patiently, brothers and sisters, until the coming of the Lord. The farmer waits [expectantly] for the precious harvest from the land, being patient about it, until it receives the early and late rains. [8] You too, be patient; strengthen your hearts [keep them energized and firmly committed to God], because the coming of the Lord is near.
Glory and honour be unto God for this beautiful day and the opportunity to rejoice and be glad in it.
Apostle James writes in today’s scripture to encourage us to be patient and look forward to the coming of the Lord. He illustrates this with a farmer who sows a seed and looks forward to the germination and eventually the harvest.
The farmer may miss out on his harvest if he does not take time to till his farm but becomes impatient after a short while. It is the same way if we do not hold on to the Word of God and patiently wait for the Lord we may miss His coming like the 5 foolish virgins.
May we not miss out on the coming of the Lord, may our lamps always be sufficiently oiled with the Word of God to keep us focused on Him. God be our help in Jesus Mighty name. Amen
