The Talmud (Bava Basra, 10a) relates that Turnusrufus (a Roman general) asked Rabbi Akiva this question. Rabbi Akiva answered, "in order to allow people to give charity and escape from hell."

We are all poor people if not for God's constant kindnesses and blessings which He bestows upon us all. If one isreally poor, this difficulty is a test, and if he emerges from it as a good person, and deals with it properly, he grows in character from it. It may also be a punishment, for one's ultimate benefit; but a witness of another man's poverty has no right to judge the poor man as one who had sinned.

Also, God may be waiting for the poor man to turn to Him, who is the Source of all blessing, in prayer, so he/she can realize that God is the true source of everything. Sometimes, if we just pray, God will shower all the blessings in heaven He has in store for us!

For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled and he who humbles himself will be exalted?

In this sentence Jesus is describing one of the characteristics of the Kingdom of God. It matters not what your status is here on earth in the Kingdom of God it will be the opposite. If you attain riches in this earthly life and are arrogant, puffed up or proud of yourself you WILL be humbled in front of God after you die. If you are humble, meek, mild, even poor you will be exalted in heaven. Your goal is to be humble according to Jesus, the Son of God and the Kingdom of God.
