There is a big difference between the human way of thinking and God’s way. We see the contrast in Paul’s letter to the Corinthians. This contrast is what makes it worthwhile to live for God. While most of us may not suffer as much persecution as Paul did, or have to get along with as little as he did, we can thank God for taking care of us. And we can appreciate how much we really have as His children. Although we may not have much of this world’s goods, yet we do have the blessing of God in this life and the prospect of being taken care of through eternity. So we can think of ourselves as Paul did in this verse – “having nothing, and yet possessing everything.”

“…sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; poor, yet making many rich; having nothing, and yet possessing everything.” 2 Corinthians 6:10 (NIV)
