When God says...
“The rich rules over the poor, And the borrower is servant to the lender.” (Proverbs 22:7 NKJV)Here's the way it is! Sad, but the reality is, in this world the haves enslave the have nots! Not right. Not fair. Not moral. And, not of God! And, it is all about choices. And, some people choose not to abide in a godly standard of morals. They choose not to live under God's sovereignty.
When people choose to reject God, that's when the wickedness in the world breaks loose. Subjugation of the weak by the powerful, cheating, corruption, scams and all kinds of stealthy activities to get an edge and exploit unsuspecting innocent people doing their living within the bounds of the law and God's words.
But, here's the good news! We have a choice. Even in the midst of this corrupt world, we have the choice to be blessed. As we choose to come to Jesus and receive His Lordship we can abide in His grace. “For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that you through his poverty might become rich.”(2 Corinthians 8:9 NIV)
As children of God by grace through faith in Christ Jesus, we have this promise of His holy and written Word. “But there will be no poor among you; for the Lord will bless you in the land that the Lord your God is giving you for an inheritance to possess— if only you will strictly obey the voice of the Lord your God, being careful to do all this commandment that I command you today. For the Lord your God will bless you, as he promised you, and you shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow, and you shall rule over many nations, but they shall not rule over you.” (Deuteronomy 15:4-6 ESV)
And I say, AMEN!
