JAMES 5:1-5 NIV
Now listen, you rich people, weep and wail because of the misery that is coming on you. Your wealth has rotted, and moths have eaten your clothes. Your gold and silver are corroded. Their corrosion will testify against you and eat your flesh like fire. You have hoarded wealth in the last days. Look! The wages you failed to pay the workers who mowed your fields are crying out against you. The cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord Almighty. You have lived on earth in luxury and self-indulgence. You have fattened yourselves in the day of slaughter.
Sounds like this passage could apply to most Americans. So much opportunity to help people around the world, but we mostly spend it on ourselves. I wonder when we get to Heaven, how ashamed will we be at the level of comfort and luxury in which we have indulged ourselves?
Heavenly Father, please help me live in a humble, generous, and sacrificial way. I love you, and I pray in the name of Jesus.
