Thoughts on James 5

James 5 – finding many more connections to the rest of the book. The “sick” among you may well be those he described in other parts of the book – the double-minded, the critical, the boasting, the arrogant rich, the abusive. Instead of criticizing others and condemning their sins (4:11), I should confess my own sins and pray for them (5:16). The righteous man who has effective prayer in 5:16 is the one who is attacked and does not resist in 5:6.

5:13 – when suffering, pray – when cheerful, sing – Paul and Silas proved that out in jail.

Jesus, show me my heart and give me a spirit of confession today.

Show me your heart and give me a spirit of praise today.
