Believers who are poor and those who are rich should both value highly what God has done for them, rather than focusing on their material resources that will disappear.
James 1:9-11
9 Believers who are poor should be happy that God considers them very valuable (OR, has exalted them spiritually) [MTY]. 10 And believers who are rich should be happy that they have humbled themselves in order to trust in Jesus Christ (OR, but rich people can only take pride in the fact that God will humble them when he judges everyone [IRO]), because they and their riches [MTY] will pass away, just like wild flowers wither [SIM]. 11 When the sun rises, the scorching hot wind dries plants, and their flowers fall and are no longer beautiful. Similarly, rich people will die [MET] while they are busy working, leaving behind their riches.
