Grace for your spirit
He who profits illicitly troubles his own house, But he who hates bribes will live. Proverbs 15:27
Throughout Proverbs the Bible reminds us that the love of money really is the root of all sorts of evil. It warns us that wealth gained dishonestly will dwindle and fly away like an eagle. Love of money will trouble our homes, and lead us to do illegal things. If we study idolatry in the Bible, we will soon see that idolatry and false god worship is fueled by greed. It is not enough to know this in our head, we must apply it in our hearts and lives. While Solomon was writing the wisdom of God for all of us, was he learning anything himself? He gathered in 700 wives, with their treasures and their idols. Before he knew it, his house was in trouble, and so we he. Let's make a commitment to be upright and honest in all our dealings. May we be content with the things that come from our one and only God.
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit
Philippians 4:23
