Richly Humiliated
“…and the rich man is to glory in his humiliation because like flowering grass, he will pass away.” (James 1:10)
Every American is rich, and we are all seeing that wealth chipped away by inflation, gas prices, wars, and rumors of wars. What an excellent chance for us to glory in our humilitation!
Isn’t it humiliating that it only takes a dip in the stock market to change the mood of the rich?
Isn’t it humiliating that a jump in gas prices can get us all worked up and complaining?
Isn’t it humiliating that we go the grocery store that carries thousands of items and are fouled up so easily by our favorite product not being on the shelf?
The humiliation of the rich is that our riches aren’t nearly as powerful as we think they are. Riches can’t buy joy, and they can’t buy peace.
Good news! Jesus is giving that stuff away for free! Embrace the humiliation. It will lead us rich folks straight to Him.
Matthew 4:4 #Biblebites
