Made Rich by Faith

For the needy shall not always be forgotten; the expectation of the poor shall not perish forever.

~Psalm 9:18

 

     "Poverty is a hard heritage, but those who trust in the Lord are made rich by faith. They know that they are not forgotten of God; and though it may seem that they are overlooked in His providential distribution of good things, they look for a time when all this shall be righted.

     Even now the Lord remembers His poor but precious sons. So the godly poor have great expectations. They expect the Lord to provide them all things necessary; they expect to see all things working for their good; they expect to have closer fellowship with their Lord; they expect His Second Advent and to share its glory. This expectation cannot perish, for it is laid up in Christ Jesus, who lives forever; and because He lives, it shall live also. Therefore, let us, when we have short commons below, think of the royal table above."
