“Let them drink and forget their poverty, and remember their misery no more” –Proverbs 31:7
I keep chewing over the idea of poverty. Physical poverty has been a very common thing from the beginning of time. Although, I’m sure the writer was talking physical poverty, I can’t help thinking about how spiritually impoverished people are. The beautiful thing about it is that you don’t have to be wealthy in the sight of the world to experience the riches of God. God has pity on the weak and the needy, and saves the lives of the needy. (Psalm 72:13) He is close to the broken hearted and saves the crushed in spirit. (Psalm 34:18) Our God is not a God who loves according to social standing, or wealth, but he loves everyone. From the needy to the wealthiest person. Let those who are spiritually impoverished drink of the living water, and remember their misery no more. Their thirst will be quenched, and need not drink of the cup of this world.
In Costa Rica, there will be people that will be in poverty, both spiritually and physically. I want to be better equipped to share the wonderful news of Christ. I will commit to waking up at 530 tomorrow, so that I will have time to study Spanish.
