How can I be as stable a person as people like Apostle Paul, Martin Luther King,  and many others who could stand their ground in the face of life threatening situations?

Rather be poor than dishonest.... I hear that but in this world, i need money to survive. I know for sure that God understands, He is love after all, He know I gotta do this to have to feed myself and family. 

I have always been financially stable......... Need i say more? God k=sees my heart.
