BALANCED VIEW OF WEALTH
One day a wealthy family man took his son on a trip to the country so he could have his son see how poor country people lived.
They stayed a day and a night in a very humble farmhouse. At the end of the trip and back home the father asked: “What did you think of the trip, son?”
The son replied: “Very nice, Dad”.
“Did you notice their economic situation?”
“Yes”.
“What did you learn?”
The son replied: “I learned that we have one dog in the house and they have four. I learned that we have a fountain in the garden and they have a stream that has no end. I learned that we have imported lamps in the yard; they have the stars. I learned that our yard goes to the edge of our property; they have the entire horizon as their backyard”. At the end of the son’s reply the father was speechless. His son concluded: “Thank you Dad for showing me how poor we really are”.
Examining the Bible Scriptures Daily, Such instructions gave Jesus ‘the tongue of the taught ones’ so that he would ‘know how to answer the tired one with a word.’ (Isa. 30:20; 50:4; Matt. 11:28-30) Being awakened to timely counsel from the Word of God each morning will not only help you to cope with your own problems but also equip you with ‘the tongue of the taught ones’ to help others.”
