James 5 Patience, it’ll get better.

We want, want, want.
I’m not trying to demonize wanting something, I’m just saying, we need to keep things in perspective. What’s important.

Verses 1-6 are a warning. Not just to people that are rich, but also to those that put their wants above everything else.
1 Now listen, you rich people, weep and wail because of the misery that is coming on you. 2 Your wealth has rotted, and moths have eaten your clothes. 3 Your gold and silver are corroded. Their corrosion will testify against you and eat your flesh like fire. You have hoarded wealth in the last days. 4 Look! The wages you failed to pay the workers who mowed your fields are crying out against you. The cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord Almighty. 5 You have lived on earth in luxury and self-indulgence. You have fattened yourselves in the day of slaughter. 6 You have condemned and murdered the innocent one, who was not opposing you.

Again, I don’t mean to say that it’s wrong to want something. I would love to have a brand new Harley Tri-Glide Ultra Classic, but I’m happy with my Sportster.

What’s even more important is, us wanting our lives to just snap into ‘normal’ we don’t want to have to work through program, we want it now. We want our families to just forget everything we’ve done and accept us back like nothing happened. We even want to act like nothing happened.

We want all the pain gone. NOW!

7 Be patient, then, brothers and sisters, until the Lord’s coming. See how the farmer waits for the land to yield its valuable crop, patiently waiting for the autumn and spring rains. 8 You too, be patient and stand firm, because the Lord’s coming is near. 9 Don’t grumble against one another, brothers and sisters, or you will be judged. The Judge is standing at the door!
10 Brothers and sisters, as an example of patience in the face of suffering, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord. 11 As you know, we count as blessed those who have persevered. You have heard of Job’s perseverance and have seen what the Lord finally brought about. The Lord is full of compassion and mercy.
