Poem James

In the spirit of faith and wisdom, a tale unfolds,

Inspired by the Book of James, as the scripture holds.

A servant of God and the Christ Lord Jesus,

James writes to the twelve tribes, in our trials he sees us.

Consider it joy when you face troubles of every kind,

Wisdom will come to those with an open mind.

If any of you lack wisdom, ask God, who gives all,

But ask without doubt, those who doubt will fall.

The rich should take pride in their low position,

For like wild flowers, they'll fade in transition.

Blessed are those who persevere under trial,

For the gift they shall receive ,is worth every mile.

Do not be deceived, James writes with a plea,

Every good gift is from above, for you and me.

Be quick to listen, slow to speak, even more slow to wrath,

For the anger of man does not bring righteousness on his path.

Be doers of the word, not just hearers in deceit,

For faith without works is dead, incomplete.

To control the tongue is a task so grand,

A small part, yet it boasts great things on command.

Wisdom from above is pure and peace-loving,

Full of mercy, bearing good fruit, and never shoving.

What causes fights and quarrels among you?

Is it not your desires that wage war, breaking through?

Humility before God will lift you high,

Resist the devil, and he will fly.

The prayer of the righteous avails much indeed,

Like Elijah, whose prayers stopped rain, then made it proceed.

My brethren, if anyone wanders from truth and someone brings him back,

Know that he who turns a sinner from the error of his way will save a soul from death, that's a fact.
