Biblical Principle - Absolute truth from God’s Word:

The fool is one who does not see there is a God.  The reason they do not see is that they have no understanding in their own mind of God.  Human reasoning will not come to God as the conclusion.  The rejection of the truth of  righteousness always takes us away from God.  The truth comes from the counsel of the “poor”; those who realize they have nothing apart from God.  To know there is a God one must realize they is One who is greater then them.

Psalms 14:1-7 The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

 The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God.

 They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

 Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread, and call not upon the LORD.

 There were they in great fear: for God is in the generation of the righteous.

 Ye have shamed the counsel of the poor, because the LORD is his refuge.

 Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! when the LORD bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.

Practical - Works that apply Biblical Principle:

This section is for you to find a way to apply the truth in your life. I will try to give only one as example; there may be other practical ways. This is what makes the Christian walk so important and makes it important to have a deliberate purpose in everything we do.

To be poor is to realize you have absolutely nothing.  Salvation comes to those who put their complete trust in the Lord.  To be poor is not someone who has less than someone else but someone who has nothing. 

Matthew 5:3 Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
