Alan Whicker was an international reporter for the BBC , and I remember him visiting a home in America ,the person who lived there was very wealthy,she was also a Christian.A number of people gathered in her home,and they listened to a lady singing that lovely song,' His eye is on the sparrow'. The first verse reads ,'Why should I feel discouraged,why should the shadows come,Why should my heart be lonely,And long for heaven and home'. Alan gave the impression that it was strange that song was sung ,in a home of wealth and plenty.So many people covet wealth as if that it is the answer to all their problems, but its not,far from it,no one can escape life's problems .Money brings its own problems ,insecurity as the Bible speaks of the uncertain of riches,read the book of Ecclesiastes,written by the man who had humanly speaking everything,and in the end he lost the plot and brought disaster upon himself and the nation he ruled.(1 kings 11 v 9ff.Yes the rich have their problems as do the poor,if you have Christ you are rich,and no one can rob you of that blessing,the apostle wrote.
For I am convinced that neither death nor life,
neither angels nor demons,neither the present
nor the future , nor any powers,neither height
nor depth, nor anything else in creation, will be
able to separate us from the love of God that is
in Christ Jesus our Lord.
(Romans 8 v 38 - 39 )
