Trusting God

Trusting God more….

1 Timothy 6:10: "For the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. And some people, craving money, have wandered from the true faith and pierced themselves with many sorrows."^[1]

 

 

         Be content living for God for this will bring you great gain (see 1 Timothy 6:6). God will provide for his children better than you can provide for yourself. Do not love the world more than you love God. Do not love money and follow it to your destruction (see 1 Timothy 6:9).

         To understand what is meant by "the love for money" is to understand it meaning to allow the great desire for greed to lead your life in always trying to gain more wealth. This great evil desire is able to destroy your priorities, marriages, households, companies and even the economy.

Loving money will lead you away from the true faith, Jesus Christ. The writer says that those who go this way of seeking after money end up piercing themselves with many sorrows. Not just one sorrow but the pain of suffering many sorrows. Jesus knows all about your life and knows what is best for you. Trust him to provide for you and see how faithful is God to his children.

Hebrews 13:5:

Don't love money; be satisfied with what you have. For God has said,  "I will never fail you.  I will never abandon you."
