But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. — 1 Timothy 6:9 KJV
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
Thought and Reflection
This isn’t a directive for people who are financially rich. No, this is for us all who need to have that riches. Craving it, wanting it, and going in quest for natural abundance open us to grave risk. We should be helped to remember Jesus’ words: “Seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness and everything will be added unto you.”
My Prayer
Heavenly Father, thank You for your countless favors. Teach me to be content and generous with the gifts you have proactively given me. Please help me and teach me to focus on serving You more. In Jesus mighty name I pray. Amen.
