The Deceitfulness of Riches 1 Tim 6:17
17Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment.
*God has blessed me with more than I need. I am rich. But I will not trust in riches, but in Him who richly provides.
Riches are Deceitful!
*Satan wants you to serve money! or worship money, be a slave to money...deceitful!
Matt 6:24 and 1 Tim 6:10
People who love and trust money
1) never have enough Eccl 5:10 and Proverbs 18:11
wealth promises things it cannot deliver...deceitful!
riches distract us from important things...deceitful!
money, the #1 competition for your heart...deceitful!
People who love and trust money
2) have money in the bank but no peace in their hearts Prov 15:16
turmoil...miserable...not satisfied...stressed...deceived!
People who love and trust money
3) find it increasingly difficult to give BIG! 2 Cor 8:2-3
God has blessed us with more than we need. We're rich! But we will not trust in riches but in Him who richly provides.
Lord! help me to seek meaning in Jesus who gives life! That is rich!
