In the world, several things are considered as riches. One of them is possessions. But it is futile to trust any of the worldly riches. (Psalms 49:1-2)
What do you have? This is financial wealth, income, savings, and assets. This money power is considered supreme by many, as they could accomplish a lot of things by wisely using it.
What do you do? This is the profession or job that provides a social standing. Such people are influential socially, and sometimes politically also.
What do you know? There is a need for information, knowledge, experience, expertise, and wisdom. The World Wide Web offers information with a touch on the screen, discerning the right information needs skills. Experience is another way of gaining knowledge, which is also helpful in life. Getting to have a piece of complete knowledge in one field could be termed as expertise. Wisdom is harnessing all these, with godliness and righteousness.
How fit are you? Health is wealth is a common proverb. Having a good, able body, with an alert mind, is a real asset. It is not just physical prowess; mental health and emotional health are also important.
How old are you? The world is mostly for young people. There is also a Digital Divide. People born after 1985 are called Digital Natives, comfortable with digital technology. Older people are called Digital Immigrants, struggling to come to terms with the technology.
What are you? Being moral, ethical, or good is considered a virtue/ wealth. However, some have a reputation but do not have integrity. Their behavior may be polite, lovely, and spiritually exemplified, but they are like white-washed tombs. (Matthew 23:27)
Rich in faith: Some people are materially poor and by other indices of the world, but are rich in faith. Hence, they are heirs of the Kingdom of God. (James 25) Those who repent of their sins and accept the Lord Jesus Christ, who died on behalf of their sins on the cross of Calvary, was buried, rose again, and ascended to heaven are rich in faith.
Am I rich in faith?
