Genesis 50:1-26; Psalm 30:1-12; Matthew 27:27-44
Come now, you rich, weep and howl for your miseries that are coming upon you! Your riches are corrupted … Your gold and silver are corroded … You have heaped up treasure … The wages of the laborers … which you kept back by fraud, cry out; and the cries … have reached the ears of the Lord … James 5:1-4 NKJV
God is offended by the unethical rich who selfishly indulge in lavish lifestyles while trampling over the needs of others in pursuit of even more. May God grant us greater sensitivity towards those with less and fill our souls with contentment and gratitude as we store up treasures beyond the reach of robbers and rust (Matt. 6:20). — Peter Ramsay
O to be like Thee! Full of compassion,
Loving, forgiving, tender and kind. —Thomas O. Chisholm
