Each of stands in the
valley of decision.
Have you not counted our
tears,
O God, as we toss and
turn?
We cannot serve you and
wealth--
we will hate the one and
love the other.
Have you not chosen the
poor in the world
to be rich in faith and
heirs to the kingdom
you have promised to
those who love you?

Ps. 56:8
You have kept count of my tossings;
put my tears in your bottle.
Are they not in your record?
put my tears in your bottle.
Are they not in your record?
Joel 3:14
Multitudes, multitudes,
in the valley of decision!
For the day of the LORD is near
in the valley of decision.
in the valley of decision!
For the day of the LORD is near
in the valley of decision.
James 2:5
Listen, my beloved brothers and sisters. Has not God chosen the poor in the world to be
rich in faith and to be heirs of the kingdom that he has promised to those who
love him?
Luke 16:13
"…No slave can serve two masters; for a slave will
either hate the one and love the other, or be devoted to the one and despise
the other. You cannot serve God and
wealth." [Jesus to his disciples]
