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 admonishes the wealthy who are unfair to those who work for them. Even though we may not be in a situation like the wealthy landowners of that time, the lesson is important. Because of our position and/or our relative wealth, we may find ourselves in a position of power. God sees all of it. He sees how we treat others, whether we are fair or miserly. God wants all people to be treated fairly. We have control over how we treat others, even if we have no control over the rest of their circumstances.
Father God, help me to always be fair in my relationships and my business dealings. When I am not fair, help me to see. Amen
