The Widow Directed to the Widow’s God

Wisdom for Widows

Simple in sentiment and style, James in The Widow Directed to the Widow’s God centers his writings on the ministry of Christ to the brokenhearted, particularly to those who mourn. Therefore, those who minister in His name need do the same. The Christian widow requires special comfort from the Lord, a message which speaks exclusively to her. Calling for the gentlest handling the bruised heart needs the sincere "milk of the word" that can sustain in times of pain, leaving the "strong meat" for other times.
