Vickie I am sorry if I misunderstood what you were saying, I have in the past (and still do) seen people who pull out those quotes and emphasize being poor so much that it's like there's a virtue in poverty (almost making poverty ino being some saintly quality) but yet they dispise the rich merely because they are rich. It is this that I am trying to educate against because it denies God the opportunity to bless them as He desires. Agur who wrote
proverbs 30 said give me neitheir poverty nor riches, lest I be full and deny my Lord or lest I steal and bring shame on the Lord my God (paraphrased) . Yes there is danger in both extremes, yet by God's grace we can handle any situation He gives us.
Sharon, you made me laugh..
.sister....proverbs 30 is what I was expressing...lol from my own personal life...neither wanting poverty or too much riches.....living wrongly in either one displeases God. lol
