This song transcends culture and style - it is a song for the whole world! It deals with a universal dilemma and provides a universal answer: Into: Calling a universal audience (1-2) to a universal truth (3-4)… there is no rank in the church James 1:5-8, all are invited to hear... this is a song of instruction, granting WISDOM concerning WEALTH. in two stanzas, each ending with the same chorus or refrain (12, 20)
I. Wisdom of common (universal) experience (5-12) A. Reflection (5-6). The intimidation by the wealthy is universal... "might makes right" is a worldwide error - seen in Thailand, India, Africa (everywhere) B. Reminder - the limits of wealth 1) no buy-out (no redemption): cost of redemption Rom. 3:22-24; 1 Pet. 1:18-19; barrier to salvation Luke 12:15-21, 15:11; 18:18-27 2) no by-pass (no permanence)… all leave their wealth to others (Voltaire lost half wealth in merely 6 months... rich man and Lazarus) II. Wisdom of contrasting trusts/hopes A. Condemnation of the foolish, who trust in riches 1) false security Job 1:21; Eccl. 5:15-16 2) false significance B. Consolation of the faithful, who trust in the Lord
