Blessed Poverty A song about God says my Father's rich in houses and lands, He holds the world in the palm of His hand. Rubies and diamonds, silver and gold, I'm a child of the King wherever I go. The Psalmist says the earth is the Lord's and the fulness thereof. We believers know that our Father is rich and in consequence so are we in Him. But wait! Might there be a richness to be found in poverty that the high and mighty know not of? Paul reminds us of our calling in the book of Corinthians, where he says, "not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble are called. But God has chosen the foolish...weak...base... despised ... that no flesh should glory in His presence." This coincides with the teaching of Jesus in our discussion today, where He says, "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of Heaven."
