Poverty

Proverbs 10:15
The rich man's wealth is his fortress,
The ruin of the poor is their poverty.

Most of our lives can be lived within a state of mind. The rich often have an easier time living a free life than the poor. It can be harder to see the other side of a situation when you are hungry. It can be harder to see the other side of the coin when you pockets are always empty.

In the United States, we make more money, even on welfare, then almost 99% of the rest of the world. Is it our fortress or do we still live in a state of poverty? Do we allow our wealth to lift us up and allow us to do for others or do we live as though we never have enough?

Wealth and Poverty are the states of mind we choose to live our lives in. All money aside, we are truly wealthy in all that Christ has given us. After a week of Proverbs that have asked me over and over about my behaviors in my speech, I need the riches of heaven. I need Grace. After a week of being reminded that I lack in wisdom and knowledge of the one God I serve, I need the treasure only He can give. I need Mercy.

Praise God that each day is given to us new. That His grace and mercy fill our cups. We are rich, abundantly. Build your fortress on the Rock. Stop living a life of poverty, you are Forgiven, your sins are covered. Live free and be willing to give the gifts you have overflowing to all those that still live separated from our Father.

Abba~I come with reverence today, Lord. In awe of the grace you poor abundantly into my life. Thank you Lord that when I lift my hands to you, you pick me up. Thank you for your comfort, thank you for you strength. Thank you that you have come and overcome this place. Remind me Lord that you are my Rock, my Salvation. ~In Jesus Name
