Answered above, except to address this idea that man has lived in 'abject poverty', which I resoundingly reject. Thanks, by the way, for your measured, calm, and reasonable replies!
Regarding your statement above (your resounding rejection of my observation): Are you saying that there aren't any examples of the Faithful being forced - despite the assurances presented in Matthew - to live in abject poverty?

Does Matthew promise the lily, in all her glory, that a deer won't come along, tear her up by the roots, and turn her into poo?
Does that detract from the beauty of the lily in the here and now?

to live in abject poverty?Don't mistake me now - Some of the richest people I know are sown in rocky ground. Beauty and wealth are subjective terms.
