MAIN TALK UNDERSTANDING GOD THE SCRIPTURES

Daily Bible Thought > James 5:13- Suffering/Cheerful?

James 5:13 Is any among you suffering? Let him pray. Is any cheerful? Let him sing praises.

When we suffer it is easy to forget that others may not be, it also easy to forget that we've had better times. Those cheerful should not become an aggravation to our spirit where we despise them for not suffering. On the other hand, they should help remind us that things will get better and we have a purpose in suffering for the Christ.

Suffering for ourselves judges us guilty of not being worthy enough so we crumble, here James was dealing with such crumbling in his letter. Reminding us that in Christ Jesus, that is, in his righteousness as the tree of live we suffer because of him, and not ourselves, we have a purpose always in suffering.

We can find lasting joy in suffering for Christ Jesus, but not in our flesh, but why? First, our sinful flesh and its crumbling are dead in Christ Jesus, when we are in our fleshly mind we judge by law of the fleshly mind, which is death. These judgments are about fairness which is an injustice to the fleshly mind. It compares itself against other people suffering and demands of God by law the suffering to stop based upon its legal judgment of law/fairness. The legal mind cannot understand why its suffers when it does good and tries to obey God's law, and those not doing so seem to get by and are blessed, its not fair!

Where as though suffering in Christ have a spirit mind of Christ they suffer in truth and love, they know their suffering has nothing to do with fairness, God never wanted mankind to suffer, God never wished evil upon mankind, but rather is good, with perfect gifts to His children, their suffering is about evil, of Satan lie, and their own sin in the fleshly mind, but its not about God blessing such evil. Subsequently, in time God will provide them away out and Holy Spirit to comforts their hearts and mind proving the Devil a liar and training us in knowing only good comes from God. This suffering cannot be know by law, it must experience in love, and faith in God as good and righteous.
