God wants to give us real satisfaction and security, which material wealth cannot provide. Wealth brings the danger of emptiness, false security, and numbing our need for God. The poor and those in suffering are blessed because they are often able to see their need for Christ and what He provides. Rather than relying on acceptance from other people, our lives can shape their opinions about God.
