What does it mean when people are poor? Does it mean that they didn’t do what they were supposed to do in a previous life and that they are being punished in this one? Does it mean that they squandered away all their riches for fruitless endeavors? Does it mean that they have done nothing well – enough in God’s eyes to warrant a good life? I think these examples of what people might think are accurate in no way. The truth is, people are poor because too many are rich. If some people were not as wealthy as they were, more people would have access to the same things as the wealthier people. If you are reading this blog, chances are you are considered rich to some people. This is a luxurious pursuit.
Truth be told, I have never been truly poor. I am from a lower – income area in New York City, yet we were educated and did well. It might be some American ideal going on there, but in some ways, it’s a result of our connection to God. He made certain things possible in many ways, which allowed us to move on to a more wealthy environment.
The truth is, nobody has everything. Even those at the “top” answer to a higher authority and many of them are in debt. They owe more than they earn, and live on what they have been given for centuries. It’s nothing special. And the closer they are to the worst Enemy, the more they receive from Lucifer. It’s a sad, corrupt system which leaves even you and I at the lower end of the spectrum.
However, it is our Faith in God and our belief in him that will carry us through rough times, and it is this faith that sets us apart in his everlasting eyes. He can determine who will move on to the best wealth and who will receive nothing and less than nothing in his next world. And that is in the favor of all those who follow him only.
