Hm-m, must be why God said in Matthew 5 that the poor in spirit are blessed and in Matthew 6 not to just lay up earthly treasures which rot, but layup heavenly ones. It doesn't mean you can't be rich – I say go for it! But it does mean to watch out. The human nature tends to put God away while on the way to the bank! So, if you have just enough, or maybe even a smidge more – be grateful. You have one less hindrance to be used against you in growing closer to God. Rich in the Messiah, not your money, is your true fortune. Endure the fire...it's producing pure gold!
