Financial distractions

I’m Miriam Neff-with STARTING OVER FINANCIALLY, and I’m Valerie Neff Hogan, and we’re here to talk about money
M The questions is often asked, ‘how much wealth is too much, or too little?’ Ever practical, Scripture gives this input. Proverbs 30: 8, 9 ‘give me neither poverty nor riches, but give me only my daily bread. Otherwise, I may have too much and disown you and say, ‘Who is the Lord?’ Or I may become poor and steal, and so dishonor the name of my God.’
V How distracting is wealth? Growing it and protecting it are wise. Allowing it to distract us from God’s calling on our lives does not honor Him. Hoarding doesn’t either. Luke 12: 18 The rich man who kept building barns to store for his pleasure learned the hard way.
M Our motivation matters, for ourselves, or to honor God.
