Are you poor, or are you rich? Do you feel poor, or do you feel rich? When we think of the terms “poor” and “rich,” we have a hard time thinking of them in any context other than financial, but it is interesting how the Bible often will use those 
words in a personal and spiritual sense.
As Paul detailed the dichotomy of experiences, circumstances and conditions that he had faced in his ministry, he lists this one as the final one: “…as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things” (2 Cor. 6:10). Materially, Paul was poor and often relied on the help of others for his substance. However, his economic depravity did not prevent him from leading others to spiritual prosperity. And, in reality, while he recognized that he had “nothing” from man’s viewpoint, he also rejoiced that he possessed “all things” that really matter.
What about you? It is possible to be a rich poor man! But it is also possible to be a poor rich man! May God help us to be rich toward Him and enjoy His riches (Luke 12:21; Rom. 2:4)!
