Re:Verse passage – James 5:7-11 (day six)
9 Don’t grumble about each other, brothers and sisters, or you will be judged. For look—the Judge is standing at the door! James 5:9
When tensions rise we can be tempted to turn on one another. We have the inclination to grumble, complain, gossip, or slander. Pastor James offers a stern warning-God does not approve of that behavior, especially when things get tough.
Why do you suppose? Is it just considered bad behavior, unkind, or immoral?
Or perhaps Pastor James wants us to know that when life gets tough that’s when we need each other most. Replacing grumbling, with words of grace, we discover the faith to have the patience Pastor James prescribes.
