If we expect to gain from money what only God can give, then we make money or god. Daniel is an examples of how to succeed in a job by not compromising. Daniel's dedication to his job and to God's moral standards brought him even higher promotions and recognition, in spite of the pressures to get him to compromise. The quality of our work will bring us to the attention of the right people. Our response to poverty can turn a negative into a positive.
Poverty comes in at least four different forms.
Chastening poverty is caused by violating God's principles. Testing poverty happens so that we learn God's character. It helps others not to trust in riches. Redemptive poverty is the result of giving away our wealth. That action prompts others to praise God.
