While the former can make him depend on the arm of flesh, while the latter can rob him of the poverty of spirit without which no man can see God, i.e. know God, i.e. have eternal life.<BR/><BR/>But trusting God, all situations can propel us towards God and help us live a life bringing joy to God and glorifying HIM.The Postmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07712586744506747127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34468470900607948.post-10801361378944114442009-02-19T19:02:00.000-08:002009-02-19T19:02:00.000-08:00Thank you for the wise words.Poverty and riches ca...Thank you for the wise words.<BR/><BR/>Poverty and riches can each either drive us to the Lord or from him, though riches seem to be the more spiritually dangerous of the two. I think of Jesus' words: it's easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to inherit the kingdom of heaven.Jim Swindlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13632113399696237695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34468470900607948.post-28035330219831891072009-02-17T12:32:00.000-08:002009-02-17T12:32:00.000-08:00Subtle, articulate and sensitive words treating of...Subtle, articulate and sensitive words treating of so great a theme as the Word has placed into your mind, dear brother.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for directing your heart, and ours as well, to the things above, always.Ρωμανός ~ Romanóshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00212143017939554092noreply@blogger.com
