We often think of rich people as "the other guy". But when evaluating whether or not we are rich, we have to look at the world as a whole. Most of us in the Western world and in other developed countries would be classified as "rich".
Jesus said, When much has been given a man, much will be required of him. More will be asked of a man to whom more has been entrusted. Luke 12:48b
One of the reasons God blesses some people so abundantly is so we can take care of others. The poor do not have the means to help others; or the time and energy. Their lives must be focused on providing food, clothing and shelter for themselves and their families. Let's examine our lives to see if we are sharing our material blessings with those who are not so fortunate. It's not just a nice thing to do--it's what God asks of us.
