The richest people aren’t those with a lot of purchasing
power. They’re those who have Jesus and
faith in their back pocket. You know,
without Jesus, without faith, you have to go through life always making sure
you have enough to pay your own way: everything depends on you. But with Jesus and faith, it’s like going out
to dinner and—oh gosh!—realizing you don’t have any money with you; but Jesus
says, “Don’t worry—I have you covered.”
The richest people are those who have Jesus and faith in
their back pocket. Those people are rich
in freedom; they’re rich in being able to enjoy life; they’re rich in seeing
fellow Christians as friends; they’re rich in quality of life, without worrying
about the quantity of life. Jesus always
has them covered; he’s always ready to make up for our shortcomings. We just have to have faith that he can do the
same for us.
If we want to be rich, if we want to be successful, then we
want to be poor in spirit, we want to bank everything on the promises of
Christ. And so, today and every day, let’s
remember to say in our hearts: “God be with me today.” And then have faith that he is.
Blessed are the poor in spirit, the humble; those who keep
Jesus in their back pocket. For the
Kingdom of God, the wealth of life and peace, will be theirs.
