Proverbs 28:6, “Better is the poor that walketh in his uprightness, than he that is perverse in his ways, though he be rich.”
If we would only learn to see life through the eyes of God, our attitude about many things would be so different. God has given us the ability to do this through the reading of His Word. He has revealed many truths to us in the Scriptures about how He desires for us to live and what is truly important in this life.
We need to search the Bible to find out what God considers important and pursue incorporating these qualities into our lifes. God puts a great deal of emphasis in the Scriptures on walking uprightly. To live honestly, with integrity, is on the top of God’s list.
It can be tough to be poor. We can lack so many of the ‘wants’ of life and paying your bills may be hard, BUT – God says if you are living honestly and uprightly you are better than the rich person who lives for self and ignores God.
The first principle of RU (Reformers Unanimous) is, “If God is against it. So am I.” The flip side to this statement is, “If God is for it. So am I.” We ought to be searching the Scriptures daily to find the things that please God and then we need to DO them. Man measures success by how much money and goods that a person has. God measures success in how closely you are desiring to follow His Word.
