 *NOTE: *This seventh and closing section of the letter by James to
Messianic Jewish Congregations both at home and in the Diaspora – but
proves again the practical wisdom of the brother of Jesus – and how it is
the New Testament link with the Book of Proverbs in the Old Testament.

 The Numeric paragraphing and sentence structure revealed to Ivan Panin,
shows how wonderfully the Holy Spirit has used the 33 known writers of the
66 books of the Bible. He allows them to use their own vocabulary, life
experiences, education and unique individuality; while at the same time
divinely guiding all that they wrote. Here we see the merging of Heaven and
earth, God and man.

 Were the Bible writers aware how marvelously God was using them in this
manner? In part, but not in the numeric structure. This is but the wonder
of our God.

 It is fitting that God would lead James to close his letter with this
three-fold lesson. Would you link together Patience, Keeping the Word
simple, and Effective Prayer? Not likely. Neither would I. But see how
effectively James under the guidance of the Spirit does so! And remember
what Paul said about the 14 letters he wrote! He said, *“If any thinks
himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him take knowledge of what **
things** I write you, **that it is **the** Lord’s commandment*” *(1 COR
14:37)*. In other words, Paul the apostle was totally aware that he was
under the immediate guidance of the Lord in *all* of his writings. People
who have problems with Paul’s writings, best be most careful! One day we
will all appear before the Judgment Seat of Christ to answer for our
behavior, example and Teaching!

 What Paul says about his writings applies equally to *all other Bible
writers*! Peter says, *“For no prophecy was ever borne by man’s will; but
men spoke **from God**, being **borne **on** by **the** Holy Spirit**”* *(2
PET 1:21)*.

 No wonder James says *“Be not many teachers, my brothers, knowing that we
shall receive **greater **condemnation”* *(JAS 3:1)**.*

 I shudder for the sake of those who will face judgment for so much bad,
false, superficial and careless teaching that abounds today! Thank God,
there are those like Ivan Panin, who seriously regarded these words by
Isaiah –

“*But <for this one> will I look around,*

*For him who is humbled and smitten in spirit,*

*And **so cares anxiously for my word**” (66:2b, Rotherham).*

 This was the manner in which Panin regarded God’s Word! This is how James
and Paul regarded it! These three are worthy examples for all of us. Beware
of those who fail to measure up with them. - J.A.Watt
