James 5:7-11
Excerpted from: Still Producing Fruit?

So here we got have James 5, starting in verse 7. Notice this. Notice how many times he uses what I call a patience word.

Did you count them? James 5:7-11 contains seven occurrences of patience and its synonyms, whether it is endurance or perseverance or waiting. He is showing here just how important patience is to establishing our hearts for the return of Christ. It is not all going to happen in one go. We are not going to be ready, most likely, at the end of the first week after we are baptized. It just does not work that way. It takes a long time for the fruit of righteousness to be produced, and we have to be patient because it comes in shifts and stages, and you learn one thing, maybe how to be content. Oh, that would be great, wouldn't it? But then you have to learn all the other things. How many fruit of the Spirit are there? Let us go look.
