1Ti 6:10 For
the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they
have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many
sorrows.
1Ti 6:11 But
thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness,
godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.
1Ti 6:12 Fight
the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also
called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.
Money and sorrow.
How often does money bring sorrow to us? Seriously. Of course you'll get those
who like to tease saying as long as they have money they have no sorrow, but
that's not true either. There are many
who do have money and along with that money they have a lot of heartache as
well. Money brings sorrow it just does. Just this past week I saw someone cry
because they wouldn't have money to do something they promised someone they'd
do. Money, brings tears so often whether it's a lack of it or problems with
having it in excess.
When we covet money we can err from the faith.
When we covet money we can err from the faith.
It's not easy not to
covet money when we lack it. Yet coveting money even to meet our most basic
needs takes our faith from us. We need to trust that God will provide for the
things He desires we have. It's NOT our desires that matter, truly, and this is
something we really need to comprehend and in comprehending make a real part of
our lives.
Loving money-
putting money before God, before our fellowman, this is evil.
Knowing we are told
that loving money is the ROOT of all evil…. Shouldn't we be very, very careful
where money is concerned?
We need to examine
ourselves- we are told to, and surely we need to examine ourselves in
connection with our relationship to the money we deal with in our lives.
Please, LORD, please help us to NOT love money! Please! Teach us to love YOU first above all things, and our fellowman next- NOT MONEY!
Please, LORD,
please…. Help me.
All through Jesus
Christ our LORD our SAVIOR now and forever!!!!!!!
