Wrong Riches
Proverbs 16:8
Better is a little with righteousness then great revenues without right.
This world it has been said is upside down - it looks like those with great riches are better off then those without - but things are not always what they seem - often times in God's word we see people who gain much wealth leave behind God to follow the lesser gods of this world - it's a sad truth - but many times the more you get - the more you have - the less you think you need God - this is nothing more then an idol - money has taken many away from God - but it's not always the case - there are those God has chosen to bless who can handle having much - because they don't live for the stuff but instead live for God! There are many in this world right now that have very little - but if they have faith in JESUS then they are the most rich of all! Those in Haiti who are suffering who have faith are better off then those with great riches and no hope -
often this world blinds us of what is really important - the ads on tv tell us to get more and more as if having more means more security - but if our security is in things and riches of this world - we miss the boat - we miss have JESUS as our ROCK!
Today's verse says it's better to have little and live in righteousness - then to have much and walk away from God - I know it's easy to get caught up in having more and more things - but let's not have those things if it's at the expense of a relationship with JESUS CHRIST and our families - the riches of this world will pass away - but GOD never will-
Where are you putting your trust today? JESUS or this world?
Where our treasure is our heart will follow - it's time to check our hearts!
Let's not trust in the wrong riches!
Word to the wise: The riches of this world are worthless!
