7 Some who are poor pretend to be rich;
others who are rich pretend to be poor.
This proverb caught me by surprise. It makes me think of when Paul said, “those who think they’re something are really nothing.” James also talked about “Goldfinger” in his epistle. So much pretending. I don’t set out to pretend to be something I’m not, but have been caught up in that behavior when I want to be something else. For instance, I want to preach like so-and-so, but I preach best when I preach like me. I want to be seen as a brain or scholar, but that again, is not me. Worst of all, I want people to pat me on the back because of all my hardships, and reality is that I have no real hardship. How can I rid my self of complaining???
