Blessed are the poor in spirit
Who have come to realise,
That they’re wealthy in so many ways
And so precious in God’s eyes.
Blessed are those souls
Who won’t worship or idolise,
All the temporal material things
Or the devil’s whispered lies.
Because true riches are spiritual
And forever they will be,
Where no thief can ever steal
And where no loss is ever seen.
When we are content
With what God has blessed us with,
There’s no desire to have much better
Or to strive to become rich.
True riches are within
And they’re priceless through and through;
It’s treasure that’s not compromised;
So precious and so true.
Loyalty is strength
And true faith is rich indeed,
When God’s word is kept with reverence
And with hope it plants good seed.
Many temptations will exist
When the pockets they are lined,
With wealth that is abundant
But where morals are left behind.
Because wealth does not equate
To true success and happiness,
Since many times it becomes a facade
And hence cannot be truly blessed.
But when we come to realise
That kindness and servanthood,
Are riches beyond all measure –
Many things are understood.
Thank God for His word
That clarifies and does instil,
All the riches for the soul
So our heart will remain full.
“No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.” Matthew 6:24
“Come now, you rich, weep and howl for your miseries that are coming upon you! Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are moth-eaten.” James 5:1-2
“Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” Matthew 6:19-21
