James 1:6-11

6But he must ask [for wisdom] in faith, without doubting [God’s willingness to help], for the one who doubts is like a billowing surge of the sea that is blown about and tossed by the wind.

7For such a person ought not to think or expect that he will receive anything [at all] from the Lord,

8being a double-minded man, unstable and restless in all his ways [in everything he thinks, feels, or decides].

9Let the brother in humble circumstances glory in his high position [as a born-again believer, called to the true riches and to be an heir of God];

10and the rich man is to glory in being humbled [by trials revealing human frailty, knowing true riches are found in the grace of God], for like the flower of the grass he will pass away.

11For the sun rises with a scorching wind and withers the grass; its flower falls off and its beauty fades away; so too will the rich man, in the midst of his pursuits, fade away.
