James 5 : invest in QUIET TIME not hasty fruits of summer
(Marathon & dont give up)
Vs 1-6
“Now listen, you rich people, weep and wail because of the misery that is coming on you. Your wealth has rotted, and moths have eaten your clothes. Your gold and silver are corroded. Their corrosion will testify against you and eat your flesh like fire. You have hoarded wealth in the last days. Look! The wages you failed to pay the workers who mowed your fields are crying out against you. The cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord Almighty. You have lived on earth in luxury and self-indulgence. You have fattened yourselves in the day of slaughter. You have condemned and murdered the innocent one, who was not opposing you.”
James 5:1-6 NIV
Riches don’t last
Things of the world, fleshy beauty.

Isaiah 28:1
There’s way we want quick power, **don’t go for hasty food of summer, don’t last**
“Be patient, (long spirited, not wanted quick result, long game-things of God, fruits that built up) then, brothers and sisters, until the Lord’s coming. See how the farmer waits for the land to yield its valuable (precious fruits, not only sustainable but satisfying) crop, patiently waiting for the autumn and spring rains. You too, be patient and stand firm, because the Lord’s coming is near.”
James 5:7-8 NIV
