Tuesday October 21

Jeremiah 37-38
1 Timothy 6
Psalms 89:38-52
Proverbs 25:28

"Yet true godliness with contentment is itself great wealth.  After all, we brought nothing with us when we came into the world, and we can't take anything with us when we leave it.  So if we have enough food and clothing, let us be content. But people who long to be rich fall into temptation and are trapped by many foolish and harmful desires that plunge them into ruin and destruction."
1 Timothy 6:6-9

A lot of us worry about money. A lot of us wish we had more money. A lot of us have done things we're not proud of in order to get it. Money by itself is not a bad thing. When consumes our thoughts, we need to change how we view it. Money is not where we find security and contentment. We can only experience those things from God. He provides us with all that we need, so we have every reason to be content. We won't be motivated by wealth because we already have all that we need in Him.
