JamaLife Helpers Global: Is Poverty Really A Choice?

Is Poverty Really A Choice?

Is poverty really a choice?
Yes!

Take it or leave it!

Poverty is a choice!

It is not a predicament.

Proverbs 6:6-11 says:

Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise:

Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler,

Provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest.

How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep?

Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:

So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth, and thy want as an armed man.

Being poor is a choice. . . this is true anywhere in the world

A person or family may not have chosen to be living in poverty but they definitely have made a mental decision to accept their situation and have chosen to stay there. They may not even mentally ‘know’ they’ve chosen the lifestyle . . . but it all hinges on choices we make. Included in that is the decision to not change where we’re at.

A decision not to change is a decision to remain the same.
