James has set the stage for some serious reflection.

Patience is an uncommon characteristic. Babies are impatient by nature and

often grow to adulthood without changing. Galatians 5:22-23 tells us that
patience is the results of God’s Spirit touching our lives. It is a wonderful
characteristic in others, but difficult to demonstrate ourselves. As we learn more
about patience through this study, application is a must so that we could be a
vessel of blessing to others as we fulfill the Greatest Commission of the Lord.
