Message from the Morning Devotions

by Madeline Fish

In our devotions this month we’ve been going through the Proverbs. One uncle talked about the rich and the poor, and he brought out many valuable lessons. In our daily lives, we see that God has given us plenty and we are all rich. But what we do with it is all that matters. God wants to see us give freely of what has been freely given to us. So, either rich or poor, we must give voluntary service to God’s work for it is preparation for the kingdom. It is also giving back to God what he has given to us. We must take our riches and give to the poor and if we do that, we will be repaid with much treasure in the Kingdom. A bad example of this is Laban. For even though he was rich, he did not give to God, but instead, to idols. God saw that Jacob worked hard for Laban, and as a result blessed Jacob greatly. This is a lesson to us; God sees our hard work and he will provide for us. God even numbers the very hairs of our head. Jesus is the greatest example, “For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for our sakes, he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich.”
