Ready To Respond To The Gospel

 God knows that a poor man living in needy circumstances, a destitute widow without hope in the world, or a penniless orphan, is much more likely to grasp hold of God's great gift of salvation which is given freely to all, rather than a self-sufficient, affluent man, whose super-abundance of material possessions and worldly wealth renders him independent of God's provision and can even cause him to become disdainful of God's free gift of salvation.
 The poor man or the poverty-stricken widow does not have the material means to cling to in times of financial hardship or during an economic downturn, in the same way that a wealthy merchant or prosperous landowner is able to turn to their personal resources when times are hard. Poor, poverty-stricken people more Ready To Respond To The Gospel with an open heart, ready acceptance, and trusting faith, than prosperous persons who too often find difficulty in casting all their cares on Christ preferring to center their hope on cryptocurrencies, commodity markets, and their capital assets.
 God knows that those that trust Him and believe His Word are truly rich. The outcome of believing on the Lord Jesus Christ is forgiveness of sins, peace with God, a new life in Christ, the Comforter, joint-heirship in Christ's coming kingdom, and a glorious and eternal home, among a multitude of blessings that are showered on all who are rich in faith by trusting His Word.
Listen, my beloved brethren: Has God not chosen the poor of this world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom which He promised to those who love Him?

Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You for my salvation and the many wonderful promises that we have received by grace, simply because we trust Jesus. Thank You that though we can be poor in material things, we can be rich in faith. May we be reminded that riches are sometimes even an obstacle to our faith. Keep our hearts humble before you and full of love for You. In Jesus' name we Pray, AMEN.
