As James ends the letter, he is giving people practical commands on how to live their lives. And in so doing, he is painting a picture of the spirituality, a picture of the habits and rhythms of life of Jesus’ followers. Rhythm of life is like breath. It is a
rhythm of our lives. We eat breakfast, lunch and dinner. It is a rhythm of our lives. James gives us the rhythms of someone who follows Jesus. And what I want to do is to draw this picture for us so that we can also see it. And what I pray is that you also create a rhythm of life that includes some of the things that James is teaching us to include.
