Those who love money will never have enough.
How meaningless to think that wealth brings true happiness!
- Ecclesiates 5:10 (NLT)
If you want true happiness, don't put all of your trust in money. The Bible says so.
Do not trust in oppression, Nor vainly hope in robbery; If riches increase, Do not set your heart on them. - Psalm 62:10 (NKJV)
He who trusts in his riches will fall, But the righteous will flourish like foliage. - Proverbs 11:28 (NKJV)
Rather than do things for the love of money, the Bible instructs us: Command those who are rich in this present age not to be haughty, nor to trust in uncertain riches but in the living God, who gives us richly all things to enjoy (1 Timothy 6:17).
Other believers have said so, too.
"A preacher always loses out when he gets his mind on finances." - Smith Wigglesworth
"Economy is half the battle of life; it is not so hard to earn money as to spend it well."
"God has given us two hands -- one to receive with and the other to give with. We are not cisterns made for hoarding; we are channels made for giving." -Billy Graham
"Every spending decision is a spiritual decision." - J.C. RyleLet us learn how to maintain a proper perspective on what God provides to us. We must learn to do what we do for the love of the Lord, not for the love of money.
Happy is the man who finds wisdom. - Proverbs 3:13 (NKJV)
