Money, money, money!!! #8

It amazes me as we look at the love of money how much God has to say about it to warn us not to fall into it's trap! here are a few mentions in Psalms:



Psalm 37:16



16 A little that a righteous man has

Is better than the riches of many wicked.



Here God once again is reminding us that being right with Him is much more valuable than money. God meets the needs of those who follow Him, everything else above that is abundant blessings. Many who don't follow Him have their reward now in this life. Our promised reward comes when we get to heaven! Oh what a day that will be!



Psalm 73:12

12 Behold, these are the ungodly,

Who are always at ease;

They increase in riches.



Riches don't make you ungodly, your love of riches and contentment in them makes you ungodly. When we depend on our riches and put our faith in them instead of God makes us ungodly! When we are worried about more money instead of lost souls and helping the needy, this makes us ungodly. Let us not be found in this condition!



Ecclesiastes 5:10



10 He who loves silver will not be satisfied with silver;

Nor he who loves abundance, with increase.

This also is vanity.



The ole wise man King Soloman tried everything to find satisfaction in life including riches, he found that money never satisfies! You can never have enough of it. Great riches are useless.



The only thing that satisfies in life is a relationship with God through Jesus Christ. God made us this way with a spiritual hole in our hearts that can only be filled by Him. Seek Jesus for He is the answer to life!
