"...These are the words of him who is the First and the Last, who died and came to life again. I know your afflictions and your poverty—yet you are rich!" Revelation 2:8b-9a
I was praying through some things today, asking God for relief/rescue. This is the verse he gave me. I have to admit, I wish it would have been a bit more promising. I would have loved an assurance that deliverance was on the way.
Instead, God gave the assurance that He knows and sees the things we are going through. His take on it is that even though we are going through it, we are rich! Why? Because we have HIM - the First and the Last, the one who died and came to life again!
We have riches that the world doesn't understand. We have riches that we will have for eternity - spiritual riches.
I'm going to purpose to get through this day believing that I'm rich. Want to join me? Could be fun!
