The great leveling

After James 1:9-11 

No one advertises this,

you won’t usually read it

or see it on a billboard,

but faith brings a great

leveling. The lowly are

lifted, the rich are reduced.

We slowly learn that

God sees all of us

the same way: a soul

that needs salvation. It’s

what we’re slowly taught,

what we slowly learn.

Position and wealth and

property and fame and 

power and reputation

are left at the door.
