The Daily Blueprint for 11-23-07
James: book of Godly wisdom - part 7
JAMES 1:9-10
Let the brother of low degree rejoice in that he is exalted: But the rich, in that he is made low: because as the flower of the grass he shall pass away.
The worldly riches that many cling to in this life will soon pass away - it is not going to last forever because this is not our home - this is not our final resting place and this is not all there is! Today is called Black Friday - the day many begin their CHRISTmas shopping - the stores will be filled to the brim and parking will be at a premium - and tempers will flare and money will be saved - the stores will make about 50% of what they need to stay out of the red! This society in which we live is driven by possessions- but what we have -and when you get what you think you need - the ads want you to get more -and you are never to be satisfied at all - we must have more - and we don't use what we have - I know that I have enough clothes in my closet to be dressed all 365 days of the year and not have to do laundry -that's so sad when there are those in this world that have nothing - not even a cup of cold water - but we want more - James in today's verse says that those who are rich will be made low and the poor will be exalted - strange words when you think about what we have these days - we must have and if we don't have -we need to get as soon as possible - James says that we should be poor in spirit requiring God to met our every need - so take heart if you don't have this or that - take heart if you have not done your shopping - while the stores would not want you to know this - we don't really need anything but God!
a side note: When all we have is JESUS - that is all we need!
in CHRIST our needs are met!
