Need worldly goods? Cheat someone?

Good morning!! Ah, yes, another great day to be alive in the LORD JESUS CHRIST!!!! God is good all the time, all the time God is good!

James 5:4 KJ "Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud crieth: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the LORD of sabaoth."

James 5:4 Life Application "For listen! Hear the cries of the field workers whom you have cheated of their pay. The wages you held back cry out against you. The cries of those who harvest your fields have reached the ears of the LORD of Heaven's Armies."

What is going on here? Uncontrolled appetites for worldly accumulations have carried them to the worst extremes. Not only did they strive for the greatest profits, but they cheated employees in order to do so. By fraud they tricked the laborers out of their wages. The resulting desperate cries seemed to be in vain, but eternity reveals them to have entered into the ears of the Lord of Sabaoth or Lord of Hosts. This emphasizes HIS omnipotence; in spite of how things may appear, HE is sovereign!

WOW! Give me more wealth, more worldly items no matter the cost! What will the cost really be? Eternal damnation? Would you rather have riches or eternal life? What you do reaches the LORD, and you, and you alone are accountable. Ever have your Christianity slapped by in your face because of something you said or did innocently and not thinking. I have!! Did it harm your witness? I don't know, but it was a great slap of reality and humility.

Thanks for reading. Love you all!

In Christ's Love and Grace
