September 23 Perspective on Possessions 1 Timothy 6:6-8
"There is great gain in godliness with contentment, for we brought nothing into the world and it is certain we can carry nothing out, but if we have food and clothing with these we shall be content."
This verse says it all.
We must provide for our families. However, we do not have to keep up with the Jones who are in debt up to their eyeballs trying to keep up appearances. You do not have to have the newest, the biggest or the brightest.
Work hard, but do not become a workaholic who loses everything chasing the almighty dollar. You can not love money and God at the same time. Money is not evil, it is the love of money that is the root of evil.
" Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His righteous and all these things will be added unto you." Matthew 6:33
Pray that our Kids will learn to be content and put God first.
