His Word

Day 239 – 1 Timothy 6:9

Those who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction.

1 Timothy 6:9, NIV

Let your heart be contented and fulfilled in the arms of God. Don’t use the riches of this world as a way to satisfy the thirst inside. Rich people are surrounded by temptations and harmful desires that will possibly ruin their lives. Choose to use what you have for the glory of God. It’s okay to gain more wealth as long as you will use them to expand God’s Kingdom. Let the purpose that He planted in your heart be the sole reason why you want to have more. Only then will you focus on things that will help others and not to satisfy your selfish desires.

I pray that you won’t be tempted to acquire more wealth just to satisfy your selfish desires.
