(1 Timothy 6:6-10) Godliness with contentment is great gain. For we
brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it.
But if
we have food and clothing, we will be content with that. People who
want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish
and harmful desires that plunge men into ruin and destruction.
For the
love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for
money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with
many griefs.
The more I have the more I want.
(Ecclesiastes 5:10 NLT) Those who love money will never have
enough.
The more I have the less I’m satisfied.
(Ecclesiastes 5:10 NLT) How meaningless to think that wealth
brings true happiness!
The more I have the more others want it.
(Ecclesiastes 5:11 NLT) The more you have, the more people come
to help you spend it.
The more I have the more I realize
that it doesn’t meet my needs.
(Ecclesiastes 5:11 NLT) So what good is wealth—except perhaps to
watch it slip through your fingers!
The more I have the more I have to worry
about.
(Ecclesiastes 5:12 NLT) The rich seldom get a good night’s sleep.
HEARTS SET
(Psalm 62:5-10) Find rest, O my soul, in God alone; my hope comes
from him.
He alone is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will
not be shaken.
My salvation and my honor depend on God; he is my
mighty rock, my refuge.
Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out
your hearts to him, for God is our refuge. Selah.
Lowborn men are but a
breath, the highborn are but a lie; if weighed on a balance, they are
nothing; together they are only a breath.
Do not trust in extortion or
take pride in stolen goods; though your riches increase, do not set your
heart on them.
1. Set your heart on giving not getting.
(Acts 20:35 MSG) You'll not likely go wrong here if you keep
remembering that our Master said, “You're far happier giving than
getting.”
(2 Corinthians 9:11) You will be made rich in every way so that you
can be generous on every occasion.
2. Set your heart on true riches.
(Luke 16:9-13 NKJV) And I say to you, make friends for yourselves
by unrighteous mammon, that when you fail, they may receive you
into an everlasting home.
He who is faithful in what is least is
faithful also in much; and he who is unjust in what is least is unjust
also in much.
Therefore if you have not been faithful in the
unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true
riches?
And if you have not been faithful in what is another man's,
who will give you what is your own?
No servant can serve two
masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else
he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve
God and mammon.
3. Set your heart on heaven.
(Colossians 3:1-2) Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set
your hearts on things above, where Christ is seated at the right
hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.
