My dear friends, pay attention. God has given a lot of faith to the poor people in this world. He has also promised them a share in his kingdom that he will give to everyone who loves him.
James 2:5 CEV
A man or woman with great faith has received much from the Lord! The best gifts from God are not fame, wealth or any of this world's luxuries. All those things will perish and become history's curiosities and footnotes!
How does God give faith to those who are poor in this world? The answer is simple. Poor people have fewer options than the rich. Wealth provides lots of ways to take care of your needs without the direct help of God! But without money and the "stuff" of this world trusting God is the most obvious and best option for navigating life!
When you are rich and have plenty of this world's provisions, trusting God completely is difficult! So when you pray, ask God to give you FAITH, and ask Him to withhold the "blessings" that fight against trusting Him!
The "Richest man in the world" is the one who depends on God for everything!
"Thank You Jesus for giving me my daily bread and the things I need for this life. And thank You for not giving me so much that I depend on the gifts and not the Giver! May Your Righteous Name be praised now and forever. Amen."
