Spiritual Wealth

Whoever trusts in his riches will fall, but the righteous will flourish like a green leaf.
- Proverbs 11:28

Sometimes it's hard being a Christian, especially when the world keeps pumping out messages that are contrary to your faith.

The media is working around the clock in an attempt to rearrange your priorites. The media says that your appearance is all-important, that your clothes are all-important, that your relationships with the opposite sex are all-important, and that partying is all-important. But guess what? Those messages are lies. The "all-important" things in your life have little to do with parties and appearances. The all-important things in life have to do with your faith, your family, and your future. Period.

Are you willing to stand up for your faith? Are you willing to stand up and be counted, not just in church, where it's relatively easy to be a Christian, but also out there in the "real" world, where it's hard? Hopefully so, because you owe it to God and you owe it to yourself.

Read the following passage -

Proverbs 11:24-28

New Living Translation (NLT)

²⁴ Give freely and become more wealthy;
be stingy and lose everything.

²⁵ The generous will prosper;
those who refresh others will themselves be refreshed.

²⁶ People curse those who hoard their grain,
but they bless the one who sells in time of need.

²⁷ If you search for good, you will find favor;
but if you search for evil, it will find you!

²⁸ Trust in your money and down you go!
But the godly flourish like leaves in spring.
