1 Timothy 6, Apostle Paul Sayings, Greed, Money, Panic, Wealth
Panic over money is greed’s cousin.
Am I content with what I have? Do I have enough to eat and clothes? Is there a good roof over my head?
When I panic over something I have lost, I have stared greed in the face. Panic shows that I am not content with what I have.
God’s goal for us is clear. His desire for us is godliness. That is what matters for eternity. What “we have” in terms of riches is of no value to God.
Godliness is the mission. All else pales in comparison. What will I leave this world with? Not money. Only my love of God matters.
But 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. 1 Timothy 6:6-10
May I love God and be content.
May I understand the value of godliness.
