James 5:1 Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you.
James starts this chapter not just talking about the rich but about the rich that claim to be Christians. They have way more than they need and misuse it in away not pleasing to God. Their real god is the money itself. Remember God’s word says you cannot serve two masters and if you misuse the generosity God gives you then there will be punishment from God. God does not mind us having wealth as long as we do let it over take our lives to the point we make it our god. Remember in some of the earlier verses it said to know to good and do it not is a sin, well this is another area I think where we may have a tendency sometimes to fail in doing the thing God would have us do. But it is just with money but with everything God God gives us. He say to him who is given much, much is required. So let strive each day to do all we can God and His Glory.
