The saga of "The Secret of GOD", as revealed in James 1:10; with a renewed mind and our victory as foretold.

How is a rich man to live when he has all that he needs? How does he require faith? Lets see.


James 1:9-11 "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. For the sun is no sooner risen with a burning heat, but it withereth the grass, and the flower thereof falleth, and the grace of the fashion of it perisheth: so also shall the rich man fade away in his ways." (KJV)

James 1:9-11 "Let the lowly brother boast in his exaltation, and the rich in his humiliation, because like a flower of the grass he will pass away. For the sun rises with its scorching heat and withers the grass; its flower falls, and its beauty perishes. So also will the rich man fade away in the midst of his pursuits." (ESV)

James 1:9-11 "Let the down and out brother boast in his elevation in the LORD. The rich should boast with confidence when things seem to threaten their position of financial strength. Flowers fade; so does fame and riches when wealth is lost. (Poverty or wealth is not the measure of our life, faith is.) A severe sun combined with scorching eastern winds can completely destroy a harvest before it ripens; something that looked so beautiful and promising the one day, can be gone the next day; even so a wealthy person can suddenly perish in his pursuits. (A person must have a reference that is more stable than changing conditions.) (The Mirror)

Until our next visit may the LORD increase our understanding of his kingdom within us all.
