DANGEROUS RICHES AND WEALTH

 
1 Timothy 6:9,10


"But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation, into a snare, into many senseless and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils. It is through craving that some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pangs." ESV


Those who spend much time seeking after material things are most vulnerable to giving in to temptations in order to get more. They become trapped in their search for riches, making unwise decisions that eventually destroy their financial health and worse, their souls. Loving to be rich or loving to acquire material things is the source from which many evil things come.


Heavenly Father, You have told us that where our treasure is, there will our hearts be. Forgive us for keeping our attention on accumulating things here on earth so that we will be like others and we will appear affluent and acceptable. Give us hearts of temperance and moderation so that we will be healthy money wise and our souls will be kept safe. We pray earnestly in the name of Jesus, Amen.
