When James speaks of joy, it has both a present and future perspective. That means we can smile at what God is now doing and what He has in store for us all.
Faith That Works: James has been called the New Testament Book of Proverbs. It is a book of wisdom for Christians - wisdom that is evident in our conduct. We are reminded that wisdom is more than just what we know. Wisdom shines through our speech, works, humility, prayers and patience through troubles. So for those who need wisdom - God has an endless supply to give.
