Even though these verses describe what we shouldn't be like, I love the imagery that James used here. God uses the the scorching heat to explain how His power can destroy us (the wild flower that passes away). While at one time this wild flower was beautiful, in the end, the heat destroyed it to nothing.
Our earthly concerns can make us feel like we have nothing to be thankful for. (How sad is that?) It's easy to feel like our worth depends on how our life is going. When we earn some extra money here and there and we can finally get something that we've been wanting for a while, it fills us with excitement and joy. But in a few months or a year, what we wanted will most likely be forgotten and in the past.
God gave us the greatest gift that can never be forgotten. God gives us so many blessings, earthly and spiritual, and we should always thank HIM, and recognize that we would have absolutely nothing if it weren't for our Savior. He will never fade away from us.
