“Be patient, therefore, brothers, until the coming of the Lord.
See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient about it, until it receives the early and the late rains.
You also, be patient.
Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand.
Do not grumble against one another, brothers, so that you may not be judged; behold, the Judge is standing at the door.
As an example of suffering and patience, brothers, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord.
Behold, we consider those blessed who remained steadfast.
You have heard of the steadfastness of Job, and you have seen the purpose of the Lord, how the Lord is compassionate and merciful.”

Most importantly, James is not sharing any new revelation from God, no new teaching that hasn’t been taught before.
While, yes, James’ book is God-ordained book, inerrant and infallible is all its ways, there is nothing ground-breaking about his wisdom.

Regardless of age, maturity, knowledge, or faith, we all experience it.
The struggle of living a life for Jesus.
Jesus doesn’t say it might happen, He actually assures that if you follow Him, you will struggle, we are called to bear our own cross, and crosses are hard to carry.
