S.O.A.K.
Scripture: I know your affliction and your poverty, even though you are rich. - Revelation 2:8-9
Observation: Poverty can be seen in two ways - Spiritual Poverty and Material Poverty. The letters to the churches in Revelation are very important for the church to read and study! This letter reminds me that there are different types of poverty. We mostly understand poverty to be material but there is a spiritual poverty that exist in our world. Those who are materially poor are often Rich because they recognize their deep need for Jesus to supply their needs. Those of us who are middle class and upper class Americans must realize our need for Jesus!
Application: All of us are poor in different ways! We must realize our need for Christ! We must decide what it really means to be rich.
Kneel: Lord, I need you - every hour I need you! Amen
