A Poor Man with Rich Man’s Dreams
Summary
Have you ever heard the phrase, "a poor man with rich man’s dreams"? Many people exhaust themselves in the pursuit of wealth, focusing only on today without considering tomorrow. The poor man often lives for the day, struggling to provide for his family, fearful that the next call might be from his boss saying he no longer has a job. This piece explores the contrasting lives and dreams of the rich and poor, drawing wisdom from Biblical teachings.
The Dream of the Poor Man
The struggle to survive is a daily reality for many. Recently, I witnessed people losing everything?"homes, furniture, all gone. Now, they have nothing but the clothes on their backs. The Bible mentions the poor in about 195 verses, emphasizing that God creates both rich and poor alike, but judges them equally. The poor man's dreams center around a future free from debt, worry, and hardship?"a future filled with family and peace.
The Restless Rich
In contrast, the rich often endure sleepless nights, consumed by worries about finances, national debt, and the security of their possessions. They live in a constant state of anxiety over others taking what they own.
A Biblical Perspective
The story in Matthew 19:17-23 illustrates a rich man's inability to live by the greatest commandment: "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, soul, and mind."
When asked how to enter eternal life, Jesus responded by reminding the young man of the commandments: do not murder, commit adultery, steal, or bear false witness, and to honor one's parents and love one's neighbor. Despite his adherence to these commandments, the young man hesitated when told to sell his possessions and give to the poor, highlighting his attachment to wealth.
Jesus said, "It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven."
True Wealth
Proverbs 3:13 states, "Happy is the man that findeth wisdom." Psalm 127:2 tells us that God grants sleep to those he loves. The poor man, trusting in God, finds no need to worry. His wealth is in his dreams and heart, safe from theft.
As 1 Samuel 2:8 says, "He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the ash heap; he seats them with princes."
The Dreams of the Poor
The poor man's dreams rest on God's promises. He envisions a new world, where "the meek shall inherit the Earth." He sleeps without fear, knowing the Lord is his protector. Proverbs 3:19-27 teaches that God, in wisdom, has established the earth, and by understanding, has set the heavens.
God’s Care for the Poor
Job 30:25 reflects on empathy for those in distress, and Psalm 40:17 reassures the poor: "Yet the Lord thinketh upon me." It is comforting to know that amidst everything, the divine still considers the plight and dreams of the poor.
Conclusion
Have we become like the rich young ruler, clinging to possessions while forgetting those in need? Our wealth is merely borrowed from the Lord, meant to be used to assist others. The poor man dreams of an eternal place filled with joy, health, and love, devoid of tears and farewells.
This is the essence of "A Poor Man with Rich Man’s Dreams." It underscores the richness found not in material wealth, but in dreams, faith, and divine promises.
