James 1:9-11 - Poverty And Riches
9 But the person [who must live] in humble circumstances should be happy over being lifted up [spiritually by God]. 10 And the wealthy person [should be happy] that he is humbled [by God], because he will pass away like a flower [blossoming] from grass. 11 For the sun rises with its scorching heat and withers the grass [so that] its flower [blossoms] fall off, and its beautiful appearance is destroyed. In the same way, the wealthy person will fade away as he goes about his business [affairs].
