The problems and blessings of wealth
June 13, 2022
M Most people would like just a bit more money, more wealth. We might even look at those with more and be envious. King David experienced it. Psalm 73:3. ‘For I envied the arrogant when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.’
V And this was David, a man after God’s own heart, but still human. The Matthew 25 steward who doubled the wealth his master entrusted to him was commended. And given more.
What was the difference? Our heart condition at the moment. Given by God for His purposes, not ours. Generosity, planning for future needs. Focusing on God’s purposes.
M Material means requires oversight. Possessions need care and upkeep. Keeping God in first place our most important priority.
