Seeking to Acquire Wealth?
Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who desire to acquire wealth. In Jesus’ name, amen.
Some people become obsessed with obtaining wealth. Are you one of those workaholic types who will strive hard to earn more and more money?
Proverbs 23:4 (ESV) warns people who are so inclined.
“Do not toil to acquire wealth;
be discerning enough to desist.
When your eyes light on it, it is gone,
for suddenly it sprouts wings,
flying like an eagle toward heaven.”
Modernly, some people sacrifice family life on the altar of wealth accumulation. Don’t be deceived. Wealth can be fleeting. Don’t let materialism become your god.
Rather, focus on the things of God and his kingdom.
