James 1:9
But the brother of humble circumstances is to glory in his high position.
I don’t think many of us like “Humble Circumstances”… but James says that a “High Position.”
The Kingdom of God puts the least first.
Because “the least” trusts in God and not themselves.
I think the key is to see my world through WISE EYES (HIS eyes in v5).
I am reminded of when God opened the eyes of Elisha’s frightened servant Gehazi and let him see that he was surrounded by God’s Angel Armies. (2 Kings 6:6-17).
Too often, our circumstances mask the reality.
Too often, our eyes see only our fears.
Going for “Gehazi Eyes”.
Going for HIS Eyes.
Looking to see what HE sees.
