James 1:4
I read James 1:4 the last couple nights and have been mulling over one phrase - "perseverance must finish its work". I keep thinking "What does that really mean?" I can't really come up with an answer that tells me what that looks like. It clearly says in the rest of the verse "so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything." So, we know the result of perseverance finishing its work. In verse 2, it says "the testing of your faith develops perseverance", so we know how we get perseverance. Now, what is the middle step? What is the work of perseverance?

Sorry about the lack of comments. It seems that every time I check your blog, my brains are already fried from the day. :-)
You have more than one brain?? No fair!
That must be a spanish-ism. Or maybe it's just an Elizabeth-ism, but I think I say it a lot.
