“I have two things to ask you; do not withhold them from me before my death: take away from me vanity and lies: give me neither poverty nor wealth; feed me with food convenient (necessary) for me: Lest I be filled, and deny you, and say, Who is the Lord? Or that I am poor and steal and take the name of my God in vain. » Proverbs 30: 7-9
To pass the test of life, you may have to pass the test of poverty. If so, the Lord has some advice for you. See your poverty in the proper perspective. Because in the Lord Jesus Christ you are very high, no matter how poor you are. Having Christ, you are richer than the richest man on earth without the Lord Jesus Christ. As a Christian, you have gone from rags to riches.
Did you know that many of you would be better off being poor than being rich? Some people can handle almost anything except prosperity. This is what our passage in Proverbs says.
In reality, it is very difficult to be poor and it is even more difficult to be rich. The rich man may have it easier in life, but he has more difficulty passing the exam.
The Lord does not tell the rich man to give up his riches…. just to properly assess his wealth. It’s not bad to have money. Some of God’s best saints were extremely wealthy. Abraham is an example. But the rich man must view his riches from the proper point of view.
