1 Timothy 6:6-10

Now godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. And having food and clothing, with these we shall be content. But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and harmful lusts which drown men in destruction and perdition. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.


Greetings Bible Enthusiast!

Remember that 1 Timothy 6:17 states, "Command those who are rich in this present age not to be haughty, nor to trust in uncertain riches but in the living God, who gives us richly all things to enjoy." Having 'enough' money, (and that is a relative term, isn't it?), will not give your life stability, but rather trust in the living God, who will give you richly all things to enjoy.

God Bless You!
