C.R.P. Day 326 - James

If any of you lacks wisdom let him ask of God who gives to all liberally and without reproach and it will be given to him. But let him ask in faith with no doubting for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind; my brethren do not hold the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ the Lord of glory with partiality; what does it profit my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him? My brethren let not many of you become teachers, knowing that we shall receive a stricter judgment. Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show by good conduct that his works are done in the meekness of wisdom. Where do you wars in fights come from among you? Do they not come from your desires for pleasure that war in your members? Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Come now, you rich, weep and howl for your miseries that are coming upon you! Therefore be patient, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, waiting patiently for it until it receives the early and latter rain. Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray. Is anyone cheerful? Let him sing psalms. Brethren, if anyone among you wanders from the truth, and someone turns him back, let him know that he who turns a sinner from the error of his way will save a soul from death and cover a multitude of sins.
