"For if there should come into your assembly a man with gold rings, in fine apparel, and there should also come in a poor man in filthy clothes, and you pay attention to the one wearing the fine clothes and say to him, "You sit here in a good place," and say to the poor man, "You stand there," or, "Sit here at my footstool," have you not shown partiality among yourselves, and become judges with evil thoughts?" - Jam 2:2-4 NKJV
My Observation:
God redeems the poor, meek, and humble.
My Application:
I am reminded of the man who was poor and homeless with the great voice. He wasn't born in a trash can but fell on hard times during his life. He was yet discovered and was blasted on YouTube. He was holding a sign that said he had nothing but his talent. He reverenced God repeatedly without shame. After this incident he was instantly awarded 'backpay" from heaven even though his past was his choices in life.
Video that first aired:
What an awesome God! This is true that the anointing is the burden removing, yoke destroying, power of God.
"It shall come to pass in that day That his burden will be taken away from your shoulder, And his yoke from your neck, And the yoke will be destroyed because of the anointing oil." - Isa 10:27 NKJV
Isn't Jesus the Christ, the anointed one, the most greatest teacher?
"Then He lifted up His eyes toward His disciples, and said: "Blessed are you poor, For yours is the kingdom of God. ... "A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone who is perfectly trained will be like his teacher." - Luk 6:20, 40 NKJV
Jesus taught us that if we are like Him in the standards of merit and honor then we will be honored in Heaven. This is a great challenge that seems impossible as we fail daily, but thank God for the anointing and the blood of Jesus that destroys the bondage of sin and iniquity.
Just one of many video's after the first:
My God is impossible to beat on blessings!
My Prayer:
Lord, as I serve Your people, let me not judge them but serve them as You would. Keep me humble as I renew Your strength in myself and those whom You have sent me.
