Let the brother of low degree rejoice
in that he is exalted.But the rich,
in that he is made low….James 1:9-16
What’s with that?
Why should a rich person rejoice at losing his riches?
Why should a well-to-do individual rejoice at becoming indigent?
Why should anyone rejoice at being humiliated?
My faith has been put to the test.
And found weak and wanting.
So I am again “forced” to cry out to God for faithfulness and faith.
…The trying of your faith worketh patience.
…Ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally….
But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering.
For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea
driven with the wind and tossed.For let not that man think
that he shall receive anything of the Lord.James 1:1-8
