Read Pro. 19:1-10
Proverbs speaks often of the "poor" in a bad sense. I don't think Christians realize that the blessing of God is to have wealth in every area of their lives. If you have wealth in your spirit then you will be able to handle wealth in your physical life. Wealth is a blessing from God. God loves to see his children without lack and with more than enough. These verses talk about the negatives of living a life of self-centeredness so lets look at the positives of living a life for God. First, you will walk with integrity which can be translated "complete, prosperous, perfect, and innocent". You have the wisdom of God not the foolishness of man. Your heart embraces God and his ways. Your witness is true and you speak the truth. You have many gifts to share with the world which endears people to you. You are generous to the poor and you have many friends. You are thirsty for God's wisdom and his understanding. You rise to the top in everything you do because you walk in the favor of God.
Lord, thank you for your blessings. Teach us to walk in them.
