Some people don’t know how poor they are. After all, they drive a fancy car, live in a big, new house and wear stylish clothes. It’s all good on the outside, but when the chips are down–when trouble strikes, like job loss, serious illness or the loss of a loved one–that is when some people realize just how poor they are. Theirs is the poverty of soul. Without belief in a loving, caring, powerful Savior, they have nothing to fall back on. Take heart! God is close by in that time of trouble. Psalm 102:17 teaches us, “He will respond to the prayer of the destitute; He will not despise their plea.” Call out to the Lord, in good times and in bad, and He will respond to you. That is His promise. Have a blessed day. Pastor Jim.
