How do we know God raises the poor and makes them rich?

Answered in 1 source

God's promise to raise the poor and make them rich can be found in Hannah's prayer in 1 Samuel 2:8.

In Hannah's prayer recorded in 1 Samuel 2:8, we see the profound truth that 'He raises up the poor out of the dust and lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill.' This illustrates God's active role in uplifting the downtrodden and changing their status. In sovereign grace theology, this not only speaks about physical elevation but encompasses spiritual riches, as it parallels with the spiritual transformation of believers who are dead in sin but are brought to life through Christ. Thus, God's act of raising individuals reflects His grace in both physical and spiritual realms.
