Is it possible to be happy when we have nothing materially? - Happiness - TouchPoints

Habakkuk 3:18Yet I will rejoice in the Lord! I will be joyful in the God of my salvation!

Habakkuk described in the previous verses an utter stripping of material prosperity. Then this beautiful verse concludes that still he will find joy in the Lord.

Proverbs 13:7Some who are poor pretend to be rich; others who are rich pretend to be poor.

Material riches can bring spiritual poverty. Material poverty can bring spiritual riches. It is possible to have both types of riches, but watch out if you are materially blessed, so your blessing doesn’t become a curse.

Matthew 6:19-21Don’t store up treasures here on earth, where moths eat them and rust destroys them, and where thieves break in and steal. Store your treasures in heaven, where moths and rust cannot destroy, and thieves do not break in and steal. Wherever your treasure is, there the desires of your heart will also be.
