To be poor is to be rich.

With graduation coming up its been really hard for me not to think about what God's plan is for my life. I would love a job where I could be doing his work all day, such as working with youth. He has kinda cracked open a few doors in the last few weeks I am just waiting to see where those may take me. But when I think about doing that I can't help to think will I be able to provide for myself? Will I be able to make my house payment, or go out and eat once and awhile with friends without going over my budget? You know the first thing I cut down on is my tides. I say well God you know I have a tight budget now so I can't give as much. What am I doing? Can I not trust the God that has gotten me this far to take me the rest of the way? It is crazy the standards the world has now on being "rich". To be rich in God's eyes has nothing to do with money in fact if you are the worlds "rich" you are poor to our father. I read in James today this 1:9-11 " If a believer is poor, he should be proud because God has made him spiritually rich. If he is rich, he should be proud because God has shown him that he is spiritually poor. The rich person will die like a wild flower in the grass. The sun rises and becomes hotter and hotter. The heat makes the plants very dry, and the flower falls off. The flower was beautiful, but now it is dead. It is the same with the rich person. While he is still taking care of his business, he will die." In God's eyes the poor will be rich spiritually. I don't know about you but I would rather be rich spiritually than be rich to the world. The world will all fade away but God will still stand.
