James 5:1-3 (NKJV) 1 Come now, you rich, weep and howl for your miseries that are coming upon you! 2 Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are moth-eaten. 3 Your gold and silver are corroded, and their corrosion will be a witness against you and will eat your flesh like fire. You have heaped up treasure in the last days.
How fitting this is for the times we are living in.
The world we live in is being controlled more and more by those with great wealth and power, as they seek to obtain even more, using it to manipulate and control those with less.
The illusion of power that they live under is a great deceit, for the power they think they have is really just corruption of their souls in disguise.
James lays it all out here, as he does so well, making it very clear that their wealth is powerless to really do anything for them.
You see, the problem here isn’t wealth. On the contrary. It’s the fact that they worship and idolize their wealth, holding it up as their god.
How soon they will see where their greed and hunger for power gets them, as it devours and destroys them. James says it will eat their flesh like fire.
Be watchful. Be sharp and discerning. Be alert and vigilant!
God is exposing the corruption and the deceit. He is shining a bright light onto the darkness that is before us, laying it bare for the world to see.
Behold His mighty hand as He sweeps it across the earth and shows us His might!
