That’s the trick: learning to glorify God in either case.

I’m with Sarah on this one. I would say both? But I am learning how to glorify God in either case

Yeah, it’s pretty tense – and a verse I hadn’t really considered before a couple nights ago. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on it, David.

Just like that scripture is deep so is your post. I will have to think it over and come back later and leave my answer.

Thanks for the compliment. I totally agree. I’m a thankfulness fanatic. No matter what we’re doing, it should always be motivated by thankfulness.

Yes, I’m feeling both too. Like you said, it’s a matter of perspective. Around some people, you might be the rich – around others, you might be the poor.

Which makes sense since serving is all about meeting people’s individual needs. One size rarely (never?) fits all.

This is a thought-provoking post. I feel that rich or poor we should be grateful for everything we have. Without the breath of life in-itself we would have no capacity for happiness to begin with.

Can I say both? I feel like a rich person but most often people, mostly friends, tell me that my “struggles” make them see the Glory of God (or something like that). This could be one of those topics where you feel one way, but depending on who you ask or who you surround yourself with you’re really the other. Or could everyone have some level of rich and poor within them?
