Poverty and Riches (JAS 1:9-11)

[1:9] Those Christians who are poor must be glad when God lifts them up,

[1:10] and the rich Christians must be glad when God brings them down. For the rich will pass away like the flower of a wild plant.

[1:11] The sun rises with its blazing heat and burns the plant; its flower falls off, and its beauty is destroyed. In the same way the rich will be destroyed while they go about their business.
