Study of Jeremiah 4; James 5; Psalm 40

What I learned ...

(Jeremiah 4)  If people continue to sin and not turn to God, they will be judged.  God gave us all that is good and we are turning from it in evil.  There is no way we can be saved but through God Himself and we must open our hearts to Him or else all will be lost.

(James 5: Riches, Patience, Swearing)  People may spend their lives seeking riches and material possessions, but they will all pass away.  If we stand firm in our faith and trust in God we will have eternal life.  His love will not pass away.

We must be patient in waiting for the Lord to come.

We must not judge others because we do not have the right to.  If we do, God must judge us.

If we love in the Lord, and follow Him, we can endure.  Those who endure are the blessed ones.

We must not swear by any oath; that would lead us into judgment.

Prayer is the answer to all things.  If we all pray for each other in faith; God will answer our prayer.  If we were to stray from God and someone turned us back; our soul would be saved.
