Is Poverty Failure?

Poverty is most thought of when we talk about money, but it also is an attitude. You
can be successful while being poor. Mother Theresa would be a good example of
that.

For He will deliver the needy when he cries, The poor also, and him who has no
helper. He will spare the poor and needy, And will save the souls of the needy.

Yet He sets the poor on high, far from affliction, And makes their families
like a flock. Psalms 107:41 (NKJV)

For the LORD hears the poor, And does not despise His prisoners.
Psalms 69:33 (NKJV)

Sing to the LORD! Praise the LORD! For He has delivered the life of the
poor From the hand of evildoers. Jeremiah 20:13 (NKJV)

He shall regard the prayer of the destitute, And shall not despise their
prayer. Psalms 102:17 (NKJV)

He made known His ways to Moses, His acts to the children of Israel.

I will abundantly bless her provision; I will satisfy her poor with bread.

Your congregation dwelt in it; You, O God, provided from Your goodness for the poor.
