Devotional For Men : Three Things Great Men Do | James 5

What does it mean to be a great man? How can we live up to the standards that God has set for us in His Word? In this devotion, we will look at three things that great men do, based on James 5.

 

  1. Great men are patient and persevering (James 5:7-11). James uses the examples of farmers, prophets, and Job to show us how to endure hardship and suffering with patience and faith. He reminds us that the Lord is coming soon and that He is compassionate and merciful. Great men do not give up or complain, but they trust in God's promises and timing.

 

  1. Great men are honest and truthful (James 5:12). James warns us not to swear by anything, but to let our yes be yes and our no be no. He says that anything more than this comes from the evil one. Great men do not lie or deceive, but they speak the truth in love and integrity.

 

  1. Great men are prayerful and powerful (James 5:13-18). James encourages us to pray in every situation, whether we are suffering, cheerful, sick, or in need of forgiveness. He says that the prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective. He also urges us to confess our sins to one another and pray for one another, so that we may be healed. Great men do not rely on their own strength or wisdom, but they seek God's will and power through prayer.

 

Brothers, let us strive to be great men who follow the example of Jesus Christ, who is the greatest man of all. He is  our Lord, our Savior, our Brother, and our Friend. He is the one who gives us grace and strength to do these three things and more. Let us honor Him with our lives and glorify Him with our actions. Amen.
