An old English children’s game followed the poem “Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Sailor, Rich Man, Poor Man, Beggar Man, Thief.” In the game, kids would try to determine what they would become later in life. Whether we become rich or poor, one thing is common to all-hardship. Trials are the great equalizer, bringing all of God’s children to depend on Him. James, with barefaced practicality, looked at the advantages of suffering for both the poor man and the rich man.

How timely. Yesterday, I was contemplating this very issue in my own life, and your commentary precisely confirms my conclusions. Thanks for this!

[@kellylundblad2616]

Thank you, for “cutting out the chatter” as I had previously requested. Now we can get to the heart of the message. Maybe God continue to use you to increase and further the Kingdom. ❤️

I've noticed a tendency for believers to be convinced the "rich" are more blessed ("prosperity gospel") and the lowly aren't blessed (Luke 6:24). They also may harbor the assumption the lowly are living a life of sin because they're "poor." I find that the lowly are blessed with more spiritual gifts and spiritual maturity than the "rich." Therefore, it's not better or worse to be rich or poor, what isn't loving is when the "rich" exploit the lowly (Proverbs 14:31, 1 John 3:17).
