James 5: 4. Look! The wages you failed to pay the workers who mowed your fields are crying out against you. The cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord Almighty.
James is warning the rich oppressors. They have indulged and fattened themselves. They have ignored the cries of the needy and the falsely accused. Their suffering will come when Jesus returns.
This really hit a nerve with me living in the day when our government treats corporations as people. The workers are not the concern of the corporation. It fattens itself on profits. The workers suffer, but the leaders of the corporation serve Mammon, not God. The Lord is watching.
Prayer: I am praying for the leaders of our country and of other countries as well as those who run the corporations. Guide their actions towards the good of their fellow man, not in the pursuit of a narrow self-interest.
Amen
