Philippians 4:19
And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious
riches in Christ Jesus.
Malachi 3:10
Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be
food in my house. Test me in this,” says the LORD Almighty, “and see if I will
not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that you
will not have room enough for it.
1 Timothy 6:10
For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some
people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves
with many griefs.
Acts 20:35
In everything I did, I showed you that by this kind of hard
work we must help the weak, remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said:
‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’”
Proverbs 22:7
The rich rule over the poor, and the borrower is servant to
the lender.
Thought
Some of the world's greatest men and women have been saddled
with disabilities and adversities but have managed to overcome them. Cripple him, and you have a Sir Walter
Scott. Lock him in a prison cell, and
you have a John Bunyan. Bury him in the
snows of Valley Forge, and you have a George Washington. Raise him in abject poverty, and you have an
Abraham Lincoln. Subject him to bitter
religious prejudice, and you have a Benjamin Disraeli. Strike him down with infantile paralysis, and
he becomes a Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Burn him so severely in a schoolhouse fire that the doctors
say he will never walk again, and you have a Glenn Cunningham, who set a
world's record in 1934 for running a mile in 4 minutes, 6.7 seconds. Deafen a genius composer, and you have a
Ludwig van Beethoven. Have him or her
born Black in a society filled with racial discrimination, and you have a
Booker T. Washington, a Harriet Tubman, a Marian Anderson, or a George
Washington Carver. Make him the first
child to survive in a poor Italian family of eighteen children, and you have an
Enrico Caruso. Have him born of parents
who survived a Nazi concentration camp, paralyze him from the waist down when
he is four, and you have an incomparable concert violinist, Itzhak
Perlman. Call him a slow learner,
"retarded," and write him off as in educable, and you have an Albert
Einstein.
