rich or poor?

Are you rich or poor? In some faith traditions, prosperity is highly rated and sought. In others, poverty is admired, although there are not as many who seek it. Is the pursuit of one or the other part of your spiritual journey? A wise king asked me to give him neither poverty or wealth, because he realized that both had potential pitfalls. Do you notice that most believers are middle class? Paul had a mature attitude toward wealth. He said that he knew how to be abased and how to abound. He knew how to stay focused on his true spiritual path regardless of his economic condition, and you should understand this too.
