28:6 Better a poor man whose walk is blameless than a rich man whose ways are perverse.
11:4 Wealth is worthless in the day of wrath, but righteousness delivers from death.
It’s nice to be rich, but it’s nowhere near as valuable as being righteous. Why? Because money won’t save you on the last day.
There are people who, through absolutely no fault of their own, just can’t get work. Maybe they have a disability, or a disease, or a personality disorder, or maybe employers just aren’t hiring. They’re faithful, hard working Christians who just can’t afford to put food on the table.
Or it may be the people who lose their jobs, can’t get a job, or are overlooked for promotion because they refuse to make unethical decisions. They won’t lie and they suffer for it!
If this is describes you, then please remember, righteousness is far more valuable than richness! On any scale that actually matters, you’re richer than Bill Gates! Ruth and the widow who gave her last penny are good examples of the righteous poor.
So What?
Are you rich or poor? I don’t think it really matters… At least nowhere near as much as your righteousness does! If you want my take on it, you’re probably rich. Most of us have bedrooms bigger than the average person’s house.
If you’re a Christian, God’s far more concerned withhow you earn and how you spend your money than he is with how much you have.
