Jesus said to his disciples, “Most certainly I say to you, a rich man will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven with difficulty. Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through a needle’s eye, than for a rich man to enter into God’s Kingdom.”
Matthew 19:23-24
I don't think of myself as rich. In the last few years I've struggled with increasing cost of living while my salary stayed stagnant.
However, the fact that I have no worries about shelter and food means that I'm richer than most people who have ever lived in the history of the world!
Famine is almost completely not a possiblity at all. It has been a possiblity for most people who have ever lived.
So God has really blessed me. I must therefore beware of this and not let my prosperity keep me from God.
Father, thank You that I never had to worry about whether I get to eat every day. May I always stay true to You. In Jesus' name, amen.
