“The Lord sends poverty and wealth” [I Samuel 2:7(NIV)]
February 10
“The Lord sends poverty and wealth”. Two extremes that most of us shun. Poverty is most unpleasant and especially so to those who have known plenty. Wealth is a rather precarious situation – it does not procure the things in life that matter and it brings responsibility that none but a few can properly manage.
But if the Lord sends the two extremes we can be pretty certain He sends all in between.
So when the pendulum does swing to one extreme or the other you do well to recognise the hand of the Lord in both.
And if your path never deviates much from the centre you can be content with what you have, knowing it is from the Lord.
The secret is to let all things speak to you of the Lord and draw you nearer to Him. This was what Hannah did.
