James 5 Why is it Wise to put First Things First

Verse by verse bible study in the book of James. Is it wise to be so concerned with the riches of this world? Is your patience spent on waiting for your "ship to come in?" Are your prayers geared toward relieving your own woes? Do you presume it's wise to cover a brothers errors and leave them unmentioned? If you've counted these things as being of primary interest to you, then you will want to evaluate these things according to this 5th portion of James epistle.
