Without a rag on his back, or a penny in his purse! – Thomas Brooks

“The Lord is my portion, says my soul; therefore I will hope in Him.” Lamentations 3:24

Lazarus having God for his portion, when he died he went to heaven without a rag on his back, or a penny in his purse! Whereas Dives, who did not have God for his portion when he died went tumbling down to hell in all his riches, bravery, and glory. Oh! it is infinitely better to go to heaven a beggar than to go to hell an emperor!
