  • Riassunto

  • An old English children’s game followed the poem “Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Sailor, Rich Man, Poor Man, Beggar Man, Thief.” In the game, kids would try to determine what they would become later in life. Whether we become rich or poor, one thing is common to all—hardship. Trials are the great equalizer, bringing all of God’s children to depend on Him. James, with barefaced practicality, looked at the advantages of suffering for both the poor man and the rich man.


    I. Our World Is Divided (vv. 9-12)

    II. Our Outlook Is Delightful (vv. 9-10)

    III. Our Materialism Is Doomed (vv. 10-11)

    IV. Our Future Is Dependent (v. 12)


    Talk with God: Reflect on your typical reaction to trials. Ask the Lord to change your perspective so depending on Him becomes your instinctual reaction.

    Talk with others: Ask an unbelieving friend or family member how you can help them through a tough situation in their life.

    Talk with kids: How do we make disciples? Why is it important to make disciples?
