Day Four -The Triumph of Faith - Read James 5:7-20
James encourages his readers to patiently endure the sufferings of the present life in view of the future prospect of the coming of the Lord (James 5:7-12). Believers may be oppressed by the rich or by other circumstances; but as the example of Job teaches, they can be sure that God has a gracious purpose in His dealings with them. James concluded his epistle with some practical words on prayer and restoration (James 5:13-20). The prayers of the righteous men (e.g. elders in local churches) are effective for the healing and restoration of believers. When sin is not dealt with, it can contribute to illness and even death.

About this Plan
Examine the book of James in three parts: the test of faith, the characteristics of faith, and the triumph of faith. Faith without works cannot be called faith. Faith without works is dead, and a dead faith is worse than no faith at all. Faith must be there, but it must be more. It must inspire action. Throughout his epistle to Jewish believers, James integrates true faith and everyday practical experience by stressing that true faith must manifest itself in works of faith.
