Rich Man Poor Man
“There is that maketh
himself rich, yet hath nothing: there is that maketh himself poor, yet hath
great riches.” (Proverbs 13:7)
Today’s Morsel: If you have
been following politics lately, you hear some discussing how to help the
so-called poor or less fortunate. Their idea is to take from and tax more
the so-called rich and make them pay for it. The old adages, ‘Rob Peter
to Pay Paul’, or the old Robin Hood Way, take from the rich and give to the
poor. But I don’t think this is what Jesus had in mind when He said, “And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a
man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.” (Luke 12:15)
You can have everything in life, but if you don’t have Jesus you are still
going to be poor. But He, (Jesus) said, the poor will you have with you
always. But, blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of
heaven. (Matthew 5:3) Being poor in spirit with Christ, is always better
than being a rich man without Him. A man is rich according to what he is,
not according to what he has.
Sing: He’s all I need, He’s all I need,
Jesus is all I need. He satisfies, my needs He supplies, Jesus is all I need.
Thought For Today: A man is rich
according to what he is, not according to what he has.
