因信而富

經文: 「窮乏人必不永久被忘；困苦人的指望必不永遠落空。」(詩篇九：18)

貧窮並非一件令人欣喜的事，但那些信靠上帝的人，看似貧窮卻必因信而富。他們知道上帝必不永遠忘掉他們，即使表面看來，很多福份好運都輪不到他們，但他們相信，總有一天，上帝會公平地對待他們。拉撒路不會永遠躺在富人的門口要飯，到那一天，他就躺在亞伯拉罕的懷中。

即使現在，上帝仍眷顧祂所珍愛的貧窮孩子，「我雖困苦窮乏，但上帝紀念」。敬虔的窮人總是期待著上帝供應他們日常所需，以及永生的福份。他們一直相信，上帝叫萬事互相效力，叫愛上帝的人得益處。他們希望與這位在世沒地方枕頭的主，有更緊密的契合。他們企盼祂二次降臨，並分享祂的榮耀。這種期待絕不落空，因這根基於永遠活著的耶穌。也就是因祂活著，貧窮的聖者可以高唱有罪富人所不懂的凱歌。所以，朋友們，在我們缺乏之際，讓我們思想天上豐盛的王宴吧！


Made Rich by Faith

Scripture: "For the needy shall not always be forgotten: the expectation of the poor shall not perish for ever"(Psalm 9:18).

Poverty is a hard heritage; but those who trust in the LORD are made rich by faith. They know that they are not forgotten of God, and though it may seem that they are overlooked in His providential distribution of good things, they look for a time when all this shall be righted. Lazarus will not always lie among the dogs at the rich man's gate, but he will have his recompense in Abraham's bosom.
Even now the LORD remembers His poor but precious sons, "I am poor and needy; yet the LORD thinketh upon me," said one of old, and it is even so. The godly poor have great expectations. They expect the LORD to provide them all things necessary for this life and godliness; they expect to see things working for their good; they expect to have all the closer fellowship with their LORD, who had not where to lay His head; they expect His second advent and to share its glory. This expectation cannot perish, for it is laid up in Christ Jesus, who liveth forever, and because He lives, it shall live also. The poor saint singeth many a song which the rich sinner cannot understand. Wherefore, let us, when we have short commons below, think of the royal table above.
