Proverbs 18:12 Before a downfall the heart is haughty, but humility comes before honour.
People become quite stuck up with their riches… they are often high-minded and need to be reminded where they stand.
This is God’s way of reminding us never to look down on poor people because circumstance has allowed them to get into such a state. Without riches, a rich man is a poor man!
Don’t allow the riches of the world to stop you from loving and supporting people in need whether they are next door or around the world.
God was always looking out for people who needed Him, whether they were rich, poor, healthy or sick.
