"For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows."1 Timothy 6:10
On the old TV western based on true accounts, Death Valley Days, recently an episode occurred where a gold hungry lady was speaking to a priest who didn’t want selfish gold hungry people coming to their area because it brought crime and all sorts of things. I thought things haven’t changed much.
Things have not changed much indeed. Notice the verse does not say money is evil but the love of money. With money comes crime, corruption, and all sorts of evil things but God made the riches and He would like to see people blessed by them not corrupted.
If you have lots of money give thanks. Just know that in the United States most are rich if compared to many other places in the world. Share your treasure and do it without announcing it to others.
PRAYER: Father thank you for money, for employment, for comfortable homes and vehicles to drive. Thanks for money to buy luxuries as well. Open my eyes to true needs and motivate me to share. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
