But the rich should take pride in their humiliation—since they will pass away like a wild flower. For the sun rises with scorching heat and withers the plant; its blossom falls and its beauty is destroyed. In the same way, the rich will fade away even while they go about their business. Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him. . . Don’t be deceived, my dear brothers and sisters. Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows. (James 1:10-12,16-17)
"Why is the sky blue?"
"Why do flowers bloom in summer?"
"If kids grow
up , do old people grow
down?"
These are just some of the questions kids ask parents as they grow and mature. One thing is true, they trust the answers they receive . . . at least for a while anyway until they have more . . .
Today there are so many
questions . . . so much for us to
discern as believers. Many, even from our pulpits, are making claims that in
no way can be of God, yet folks are contemplating belief.
God has not changed. His Word will remain for eternity. Jesus is the ever-living Word! Trust Truth! You will be blessed for persevering under all the trials!
