The Danger of Misplaced Love
1 Timothy 6:9-10
9 But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. 10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
Thoughts:
Money can be a tricky thing, and it can sometimes get in the way of our faith. It’s not just about having a lot of money, it’s about letting anything else get in the way of our love for God. What are the things that you struggle with, the things that you want more than God? Bring them to God in prayer, and ask Him to help you resist them. Remember, the real treasure is in Christ, not in any money or possessions.
Prayer:
Pray that God helps you shift your focus today from temporal things to eternal blessings.
