In this sermon, John MacArthur talks about where we should put our resources.
The person who has nothing rejoices in what God provides, the person who has everything and realizes it can’t buy what he needs, also rejoices in what God has provided.
The poor Christian can also, as a footnote, rejoice that he is associated with rich ones and the rich Christian can rejoice in the privilege, the self-denying privilege of being identified with Christ and poor believers.
Why? Because we are all humbled at the same level at in a trial and we all have to lean on God, right? That’s the point.
Money doesn’t buy people out of their problems. Their real trials. Oh, it may solve your economic problem, but you’ll get a rash of other ones that it won’t be able to solve.
So the point here is, whether poor or rich, trials come into live to humble us and true humility, whether it possesses much of this worlds good or little, true humility says, my resources are in God.
