Such a man must not expect to get anything from the Lord??8 an irresolute person like him, who is uncertain about everything he does.

You crave things, and cannot have them, and so you commit murder. You covet things, and cannot get them, and so you quarrel and fight. You do not have things because you do not ask for them.

You ask and fail to get them because you ask with wrong motives, to spend them on your pleasures.

So be patient, brothers, until the coming of the Lord. The farmer has to wait for the precious crop from the ground, and be patient with it, until it gets the early and the late rains.
