If the Lord Wills – James 4:11-5:6

James exhorts us in three diverse topics. The first is to reject a judgmental, harsh spirit towards our fellow believers, for the Lord is the Judge of all. The second is that in all of our future plans and dreams, we must not be arrogant but realize how brief and frail our lives are, and instead say, “If the Lord wills, I will do this or that.” And third, we are warned by some strong words to wealthy landowners who are getting rich off mistreatment of their laborers.
