| Rich or Poor |

| |
Rich or Poor Pray for the rich, because they have leaned on their wealth, instead of on the Lord. Their wealth will eat their flesh. Their gold and silver is corroded, the rust will poison them. Their money and possessions will be putrid. They lay aside their treasure for the last days, thinking they will survive on their abundance.
The kingdom of God belongs to the poor, the Lord is their provider. They have learned that He will give them their needs. He provides and blesses the poor when they seek His presence. When the poor cry because of the affliction of the rich, He will avenge their hurts. Whereas the rich have already received their rewards, because they have not put aside their riches in heaven, where it cannot be stolen or rust. A prayer for the believer: Pro 30:7 There are two things, Lord, I want you to do for me before I die: Pro 30:8 Make me absolutely honest and don't let me be too poor or too rich. Give me just what I need. Pro 30:9 If I have too much to eat, I might forget about you; if I don't have enough, I might steal and disgrace your name. |
